Editor's Note

International Plant Names Index (IPNI) and Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN) have this species listed as Stapelia gettleffii

It can be found listed as Stapelia gettliffei in Aluka, Plantzafrica, and several other resources.

Since there is some apparent disagreement on the correct spelling of the specific epithet, we have listed them both.
