I know there's a fair amount of discussion (i.e. arguing) going on behind the scenes about these changes. UCBG clearly has decided to go with the new taxonomy.<br /><br />Usually Aloe capitata inflorescences aren't quite THAT stubby but they're always on the squat side.

Love that burnt orange. It is a mystery why some plants make it into the trade and others remain bot. garden only.

I was intrigued by the short stubby blooms on the Aloe capitata var. quartziticola.
