Haworthia is a large genus of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa
(Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa).[1]
Like aloes and gasteria they are members of the subfamily Asphodeloideae and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are distinctive in appearance. They are popular garden and container plants.
These plants were discovered by Henri Auguste Duval (1777-1814) in 1809. The genus name is derived from Adrian Hardy Haworth’s (1767-1833) name, a botanist and avid succulent collector.
