The LAST identification request ... at least for now ...

Post by WayneByerly »

I bought two tiny succulents from the grocery store (of all places to buy a succulent) and I posted them here trying to get id's for them ... successfully identifying plants that I initially thought were Haworthias as what they actually were I might add.

And then I bought a third item and I am almost 100% certain that it is a Haworthia ... because of the appearance of the flowers. So here are four pictures of this most recent addition that hope that I can obtain a species name for.

1) this shows the entire plant with the branching flower stalk.

2) a top view of (mostly) this most recent addition ... along with two others that I already have ID's for.

4) closeup side view showing detail of leaf speckles. depth of field is extremely limited for this degree of macro closeups ... sorry for the focus.

And as always, thank you one and all for your responses, correct or not. They show how willing you all are to take the time out of your own busy day to try to help someone else.

Oh WOW!!! Thanks for the tip. With that tip I was able to find a number of specimens that looked SO close to the pictures I had taken. A good number of the specimens "found" were what appeared to be the common Haworthia "Zebra" when using that search criteria. The "hits" that I found that matched closely were labeled ...

Haworthia attenuata
Haworthia attenuata var radula (this item was the most commonly found "match")
Haworthia attenuata forma britteniae
Haworthia attenuata var glabra
Haworthia attenuata (fine dotted form)


... any one of which could be the same as what I posted my question about. So thanks teo ... your assistance was invaluable in helping me find a number of possibilities. The var radula was the most common that I found (along with "fine dotted form"), so I think I'll stick with the "radula" ... at least until I find a more apt "match".
