Summary Smith, G. F.: Nomenclatural notes on Apicra jacobseniana (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae). — Taxon 41: 534–536. 1992. — ISSN 0040‐0262. The nomenclature of many alooid genera is highly problematical. The present note, which originated in the context of a taxonomic study of the southern African genus Poellnitzia Uitewaal, resolves a complex nomenclatural problem with respect to Apicra jacobseniana Poellnitz. It is shown that this species name was published validly by Poellnitz and not Uitewaal, and that it has been combined validly at varietal rank under P. rubriflora (L. Bolus) Uitewaal but not under Haworthia rubriflora (L. Bolus) Parr.
