Haworthia venosa ssp. tesselata

This is the H. venosa var. tesselata we're all familiar with. You can clearly see the difference between it and tesselata 'simplex' posted a few days ago.
Several have asked how I'm doing. Thank you; I'm doing fine. I just can't lift anything heavy for a while (per doctor's orders) and that's frustrating. Thanks for your concern.

Jatropha cathartica and Haworthia venosa ssp. tesselata var. simplex

I should have noted a few days ago when I posted Jatropha berlandieri (Torrey 1858) that this is an invalid synonym for Jatropha cathartica (Teran & Berlandier 1832). Since J. cathartica has priority, it would be the correct name. Old habits are sometimes hard to change.

With that said, here's a new photo of Haworthia venosa ssp. tesselata var. simplex. Of course, there is no variety simplex. Or, at least, it's not accepted as a variety by most anyone.  It's just a part of the variability of the sub-species tesselata. Be that as it may, it's a nice variation.
