ISI 2022-30. Haworthia cooperi var. venusta (C.L.Scott) M.B.Bayer

Haworthia cooperi is variable with regard to toothiness and plumpness of the leaves. Among the most popular is H. cooperi var. truncata, prized for its glossy, green, jellybean-like leaves with prominent apical windows. Variety pilifera is much the same but with a terminal awn. Variety venusta also bears a terminal awn but, in addition, the leaves are covered with hairs, giving the plant a grayish, slightly grizzled look. We offer divisions of HBG 101205, a plant collected by Gerhard Marx, GM 292, from northeast of Kenton-on-Sea, Eastern Cape, South Africa. $12.
