haworthiahaworthia
genusgenusSmall succulent plants characterized by their rosette growth pattern and distinctive leaf textures, which can range from smooth to ridged or dotted with translucent 'windows'. These compact plants have evolved unique adaptations to help them thrive in bright, arid environments while maintaining an elegant architectural form.
Etymology
The genus was named in honor of Adrian Hardy Haworth, a prominent 19th-century British botanist and entomologist who made significant contributions to succulent plant classification.
Interesting fact!
The translucent leaf tips or 'windows' act like tiny skylights, allowing light to penetrate deep into the plant's tissues even when partially buried by sand in their natural habitat.
