Haworthia suberecta - Hartebeeskuildam SW Brandwacht

 Differs to the forms around Brandwacht somewhat. Bayer's Haworthia turgida var. suberecta should be acceptable save for the complexities that occur with H turgida and retusa further west. Hence I prefer to stick to Haworthia suberecta as a unique species.

As is typical of the turgida group, the plants grow on steep north facing cliffs















Haworthia 'R100420E' - Towerlands (aff H asperata)

The plants are quite similar to Haworthia asperata from 'Die Krans'  near Herbertsdale.

Towerlands is a few kilometres to the west of  'Die Krans' The plants are generally more attractive and darker-leaved then Haworthia asperata. They grow amongst dense fynbos and on north-facing slopes that are not as steep and 'turgida - like' as at  'Die Krans'.



The plants seem to belong to a Haworthia pygmaea -turgida trans group
