Haworthia truncata var.
crassa

This plant and its twin, DEM709-A,
are from Calitzdorp. Interestingly there are populations in the
Calitzdorp area that show intermediate characteristics of both var. truncata
and var. maughanii. This plant appears to be from one of those
intermediate populations. This is an example of the tremendously
variable gene pool within Haworthia, as this is not a hybrid, it is simply
part of a population of plants that exhibit characteristics half way between
the two named varieties.
