Haworthia attenuata var. radula only occurs in the vicinity of Hankey in the Eastern Cape Province. Once a species in its own right, Bayer (1999) reduced it to a variety of H. attenuata. It has erect narrow leaves with tiny white tubercles that can seem to be vaguely arranged in longitudinal lines. This variegate has numerous white and yellowish lines. These plants are rooted offsets in 6-inch pots.
