Haworthia cooperi var. truncata (Jacobs) M.B. Bayer

Haworthia cooperi has many forms of which var. truncata is the most extreme. Found in the Eastern Cape, North of East London, this Haworthia's blunt leaf tips show an adaptation to its extreme environment.  This is a single offset from a much larger plant.

A look at this plant in January 2001.
