Taxonomy
Lotsy (1911) placed a number of genera (Kniphofia, Notosceptrum, Chortolirion and Aloe) into a family, separate from Asphodelaceae, the Aloinaceae. Other taxonomists have subsequently circumscribed a tribe, Aloineae (or Aloeae) to include Gasteria, Haworthia and Aloe. Other taxonomic terms have included Aloaceae, Alooideae, Aloideae, Aloidea, Aloides, Aloinae and Aloeace, with the type genus Aloe.
