Haworthia turgida, also sometimes known as the windowpane plant,[2] is a species of Haworthia native to the Cape Provinces.[3] Its common name comes from the translucent panes on its leaves, which are similar to those of Haworthia cooperi and some other species in the genus.[2] It grows in dense clusters of offsets from the base, and in its native habitat prefers rocky limestone or slate cliffs. The main type has pale green leaves but varies widely.[4] Varieties include Haworthia turgida var. longibracteata (M.B.Bayer) and Haworthia turgida var. suberecta (Poelln.)
