Summary In the literature, discrepancies exist with regard to the correct publication date of Chamaealoe Berger. The confusion concerns two publications of Alwin Berger which appeared in 1905 in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. and in 1908 in Das Pflanzenreich , respectively. The former publication has unfortunately been overlooked during recent revisions and this has led to an undesirable variance in citations of title and year of publication appended to the name Chamaealoe. It is shown below that Chamaealoe africana (Haw.) Berger was validly published in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. 36: 43 (28 February 1905).
