This species is from south of Oudtshoorn in the Western Cape Province of South African. These plants were propagated from material originally collected near Moerasrivier (GM 312). H. outeniquensis tends to form a low mat of light green rosettes, and the leaves are translucent with a feathery margin of bristles. Breuer seems to prefer the name of H. heroldia for this species, although this isnt fully certain. These plants are rooted offsets in 4-inch pots.
