Name and Classification
Aloe comosa (Marloth & A. Berger) is the botanical name for what is commonly known as Clanwilliam aloe. Although Aloe comosa has always been a part of the genus Aloe, in the past it has been classified as being part of two different families: the Aloaceae or the Liliaceae family. It wasn’t until 2003 that the APG II system placed the genus in the family Asphodelaceae, however some sources still classify aloe in either of the former families.
