Revisions tend not to be contested when few are or nobody else is working with those plants. I would leave the previous L. aloides page as it was, with a disclaimer that a modern revision has split the species into eight. I would also add that the species cannot be distinguished in photos of intact inflorescences.

Garden plants may have ancestry from more than one of these new species. It would make sense to identify plants from field-collected seed from a known population as one of the new species, but otherwise it might be impossible, as you wrote.
