Haworthia reticulata

Haworthia is related to Aloe, but these are smaller plants with less conspicuous flowers. The tremendous variability of their leaves, with lines and spots and ridges and translucent “windows”, makes them very popular with collectors. The name “reticulata” means netted, and refers to the way that the lines on the leaves go both lengthwise and crosswise, making a net-like pattern. This plant comes from east of Cape Town, in South Africa’s Western Cape Province.
