Haworthia truncata 'tenuis'

Not generally accepted as a variety by Bayer, this is nevertheless one of the smallest forms of this species and has its own charm.

This is the last of the Haworthia truncata plants for a while. Tomorrow I'll begin some of the H. magnifica var. splendens.

Haworthia truncata var. tenuis (GM 268)

No, these aren't "baby" truncatas. As you can see they are mature, but they aren't very large. Grown from seed collected in habitat, East of Oudtshoorn, Western Cape, South Africa, they tend to stay smaller than the standard strains. And though they usually maintain a rather dark body, we have one that doesn't quite fit in, though grown from the same seed batch. Highly prized for their unique features.
