Haworthia truncata, from the Western Cape Province of South Africa, is a perennial favorite of plant collectors. These plants (JDV 94/10) are material from ones originally collected north of Calitzdorp. The horse-teeth like arrangement of leaves, which tend to form close to the soil surface, are usually a dark color. Variety maughanii, which often is considered a separate species, differs because the leaves are not distichous, as in variety truncata, and they are nearly round. with variable white streaks. Our plants are seedlings in 2-inch pots.
