Abstract
Summary: The conservation status of Aloe davyana, A. davyana var. subolifera, and A. labiaflava (Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae) is discussed. These three taxa were recently reinstated as accepted species (A. davyana and A. labiaflava), with A. davyana var. subolifera included as the only non-autonymic variety in A. davyana. Of these three aloes, the autonymic A. davyana and A. davyana var. subolifera are of Least Concern, while A. labiaflava is Endangered.
