Haworthia
rossouwii var. petrophila M.B. Bayer

Known until very recently as Haworthia variegata var. petrophila, recent field work by Bayer has established that this species more rightly belongs in the newly reestablished genus rossouwii. I have two of these plants and this species has a reputation of being difficult. the plant pictured is small and in a winter rest, so I will report back in a year or so as to my success with this species.
