15 May 2004 Groot Brack River Haworthia pygmaea

It was very dark and we searched a vacant lot on a steep hillside in Groot Brack River City until it was almost total darkness.  We finally found a couple of different Haworthia pygmaea var pygmaea buried deep into the soil.  Here are two plants, a very tiny one and another even tinier.  The name pygmaea came from this habit of staying very small with few leaves in the wild.
