A tiny plant today the photo shows this Haworthia nigra at only 1/2" tall.  This photo also show a  phenomenon seen in many Haworthias, the sticky leaf.  Haworthia nigra, springbokvlakensis, viscosa, and others catch dirt on their leaves, probably to protect they from the intense sun in their native habitat.
