Haworthia reinwardtii. Maybe??????

This post was edited by bikerdoc5968 on Thu, Dec 18, 14 at 8:19

I have seen many photos of H. coarctata and H. reinwardtii that looked identical to me; found this info about difference in two:

It has been very often confused with H. reinwardtii in the past. The differences are following: H. coarctata has tubercles smaller and more smoothly rounded, whereas in H.reinwardtii they are frequently large and tend to be flattened and whiter. But I have seen some plants from the area mentioned above and I wasnôt able to distinguished what is H. coarctata and what is already H. reinwardtii.

Photo is of my what I had ID-ed as H. coarctata - not sure about size of tubercles/bumps - they don't look smoother & smaller to me?.
Ashur, could you possibly post a close-up of the 'bumps'?

Thanks bikerdoc & Rina

I think it's the reinwardtii from the pics I've seen this afternoon. However I will post a close up as soon as I can.

Thank you!!!
Ashur

It is true that some species of H. reinwardtii & H. coarctata are difficult to tell apart. Maybe someday they will be lumping these together like they've done with others. :P

I believe this one is Haworthia coarctata var. tenuis.

Hi Rina, Happy Holidays! Yes, long time no see~just jumping in & out here. Thanks for asking~family & I are fine. Dealing with the occasional flooding at our house (yesterday AND 2 wks ago~see pix below). Storm drains can't handle heavy rain in short periods. Once rain stops, water goes down in half hr to hour ~thank goodness!

My PIG succulent garden out front~designed JUST for this once a year flooding. Water level to bottom of top of 3 rows of bricks. Lots of sediment left behind. Sorry to hijack your thread, ashur!! :D
