doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.521.2.4 Named for Mr B.S. (Ben) Botha (born 4 September 1961, Elliot, Eastern Cape Province, South Africa), a nurseryman and succulent afficionado, apparently the first to have gathered material of K. benbothae since Inez Verdoorn collected it in 1936; he is credited for recognising it as distinct from K. luciae.
