Haworthiopsis viscosa - 'Santoku' Kandelaarsrivier

A unique natural form, with the leaves more exposed, and a tendency to point vertically. Grown from a single plant from Kandelaarsrivier south of Oudtshoorn. 

The cultivar name 'Santoku' refers to a Japanese kitchen knife, which a leaf two dimensionally somewhat resembles.

I received this plant from Ingo Breuer many years ago. The reference number is probably incorrect. No further data is available. It has elongated leaves and slowly offsets by stolons.

Haworthiopsis sordida - GM 763 Noorspoort

I am just adding this image for now. Hope to follow with more data at a later date

Haworthiopsis tuberculata - GM661 Kraaldoorn east of Calitzdorp

Although Haworthiopsis tuberculata is a rather stable element in the Southern - and Eastern Cape, it does have some unique populations every now and again. One such population is at Kraaldoorn east of Calitzdorp. The plants have  attractive  prominent tubercles , somewhat glass-like and almost white.

Plants in the collection of Mr. Gerhard Marx. 
Originally these were broken pieces lying around in the veld.



Haworthiopsis sordida - SW Kirkwood

Previous statement that this is the only clone at HaworthiaGems is not true. I have subsequently learned that Haworthiopsis sordida (Clifton Marais)  north of Uitenhage is the same locality so there are a few more available. Some leaves of the plant above have been removed for propagation.
Three shoots formed from the leaves after patiently waiting for months. These grew very slowly and will be auctioned off at Plant Auction . More leaves are going to be removed and the flower stalk send for tissue culture.
