Our plants are GM 260, from original material collected near Witkliprug, about 20 km south of Oudtshoorn in the Western Cape Province of South Africa. This is a chunky, solitary retuse-leaved rosette, beautifully marked with white, pinkish and brown lines and flecks on upper leaves; each plant is distinctive. One of the best Haworthias, Bayer (1999) probably considers this one to be Haworthia emelyae var. emelyae. We distinguish it to be a separate variety to keep it distinct from H. emelyae var. major. These plants are seedlings in 3-inch pots.
