Aloe hyacinthoides Linnaeus var. guineensisLinnaeus, Species Plantarum1: 321. 1753.
"Habitat β. in Guinea." RCN: 2504.
Basionym of: Aletris hyacinthoides(L.) L. var. guineensis(L.) L. (1762).
Lectotype(Stearn, Cat. Bot. Books Miller Hunt2(1): liii. 1961): [icon] " Aloe Guineensisradice geniculata fol. variegato"in Commelin, Praeludia Bot.: 84, t. 33. 1703.
Note:Wijnands (in Taxon22: 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 Taxon23: 823. 1973). Consequently, Sansevieria hyacinthoides(L.) Drucewas accepted as the correct name for what Stearn called Aloeguineensis(L.) Jacq., listed as the type of SansevieriaThunb. in App.III of the ICBN.
