Haworthia is a variable genus of Southern African leaf succulents. They generally form very attractive rosettes of windowed, toothy, textured, lined marked or colored leaves. The number of species vary considerably, depending on the taxonomist and author. The genus is widespread and predominately found in the Eastern and Western Cape provinces but is also known from the Northern Cape and Orange Freestate provinces. It is a nearly endemic genus to South Africa, except for a few records known from Namibia.
