The correct name of Aloe plicatilis in Kumara (Xanthorrhoeaceae subfam. Asphodeloideae)
Ronell Klopper
Abstract
The genus Kumara Medikus (1786: 69) was recently reinstated in the Xanthorrhoeaceae: Asphodeloideae (alternatively Asphodelaceae: Alooideae) comprising only one species, namely the fan aloe, Kumara disticha Medikus (1786: 70) with Aloe plicatilis (Linnaeus 1753: 321) Miller (1768: 7) given as a synonym. However, if the fan aloe, currently known as Aloe plicatilis, is treated as a species of Kumara, the epithet plicatilis has priority and a new combination in Kumara is required. The new combination is made here.

I don't know who − if anybody − will read this taxonomic swap ever again. If an unfortunate future reader is afflicted with the same manner of nomenclatural pedantry as I, it is necessary to note that the correct name of the Fan Aloe did not originate with the paper cited above, which is Klopper, Smith & Van Wyk (2013b). These authors were pipped to the post by Rowley (2013). The combination Kumara plicatilis (L.) Klopper & Gideon F.Sm. published in the former paper [also above] is a synonym of Kumara plicatilis (L.) G.D.Rowley, the latter having priority due to earlier valid publication (Klopper, Smith & Van Wyk 2013c). The correct name of the Fan Aloe hence is Kumara plicatilis (L.) G.D.Rowley.
The correct dates of the Alsterworthia International publications were established by Walker (2013), not by Klopper, Smith & Van Wyk (2013c), whose dating is incorrect.

Unintended disagreements occur when a parent (B) is
thinned by swapping a child (E) to another part of the
taxonomic tree, resulting in existing IDs of the parent being interpreted
as disagreements with existing IDs of the swapped child.
Identification
ID 2 of taxon E will be an unintended disagreement with ID 1 of taxon B after the taxon swap
If thinning a parent results in more than 10 unintended disagreements, you
should split the parent after swapping the child to replace existing IDs
of the parent (B) with IDs that don't disagree.
