08 May 2004 Trip to South Africa NE Riversdale

We then drove Northeast of Riversdale about to look at three more retusa like Haworthias.  On the north end of a long ridge we found our first, H. magnifica v. magnifica “asperula” we saw here a lot of variability and only a very few clones with the roughened leaf texture as in the traditional "asperula".  The lesson I learned here is that asperula is an uncommon trait in this population..
