Haworthia truncata, from the Western Cape Province of South Africa, is a perennial favorite of plant collectors. These plants (GM 287) are material from ones originally collected from Welkom farm south 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-red streaks. Our plants are seedlings in 4-inch pots.
