Abstract
Abstract: The identity of Astroloba pentagona (Haw.) Uitewaal (Asphodelaceae: Alooideae), the type species of the genus Astroloba Uitewaal, is clarified. It is shown that the name A. pentagona can be applied to populations of Astroloba from north of the Swartberg Mountains in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. The history of the name A. pentagona is discussed, and the description of the species is amplified. An epitype is designated and a geographical distribution map is provided for the species.
