Aloe mocamedensis, a new species from the Namib Desert, south-western Angola

Abstract

Aloe mocamedensis is described as a new species from the Namib Desert in southwestern Angola. It is allied to A. kaokoensis, but differs from A. kaokoensis by its smaller size and in forming small clusters of up to six plants, and in its juvenile leaves which are not spotted and remain distichous for a few years.
