Aloe hyacinthoides Linnaeus var. guineensis Linnaeus, Species Plantarum 1: 321. 1753 View in CoL View Cited Treatment .

"Habitat β. in Guinea." RCN: 2504.

Basionym of: Aletris hyacinthoides (L.) L. var. guineensis (L.) L. (1762) .

Lectotype (Stearn, Cat. Bot. Books Miller Hunt 2(1): liii. 1961): [icon] " Aloe Guineensis radice geniculata fol. variegato" in Commelin, Praeludia Bot.: 84, t. 33. 1703.

Current name: Sansevieria hyacinthoides (L.) Druce View in CoL View at ENA ( Agavaceae / Liliaceae ).

Note: Wijnands (in Taxon 22: 109-114. 1973) argued that var. guineensis , not var. zeylanica , was the typical variety of A. hyacinthoides , an argument accepted by the Committee for Spermatophyta (in Taxon 23: 823. 1973). Consequently, Sansevieria hyacinthoides (L.) Druce was accepted as the correct name for what Stearn called Aloë guineensis (L.) Jacq., listed as the type of Sansevieria Thunb. in App. III of the ICBN.
