From 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. Part of one of the best groups of Haworthia, Bayer (1999) considers this one to be the standard Haworthia emelyae var. emelyae. George Lombard collected the original plants (GL 4108). These plants are seedlings in 4-inch pots.
