In the framework of a taxonomic revision of Battandiera, we present two nomenclatural changes in the genus. Urginea angolensis is the priority name for Battandiera pulchra (Ornithogalum pulchrum), and therefore, the new combination of Battandiera angolensis is required. Ornithogalum recurvum, a taxon that has been considered as a synonym of Battandiera stapffii (Ornithogalum stapffii) in some taxonomic revisions, is accepted as a valid species on the basis of peculiar morphological characters, and therefore, the new combination of Battandiera recurva is required. Comments on the recently described species Albuca gariepensis are given.
