HAWORTHIAS
Haworthias are small succulent plants, forming rosettes of leaves depending on the species. These rosettes are usually stemless but in some species stems are found. The plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. The genus is named after the botanist Adrian Hardy Haworth. There are several taxonomies for haworthia. B. Bayer recognised approximately 60 species in 2012, whereas other taxonomists are very much less conservative. Most species are endemic to South Africa, with the greatest species diversity occurring in the south-western Cape.
