Haworthia truncata, from the Western Cape Province of South Africa, is a perennial favorite of plant collectors. The horse-teeth like arrangement of leaves, which tend to form close to the soil surface, are usually a solid 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. Our plants are seedlings in 3-inch pots.
