Haworthia angustifolia var. altissima M.B.Bayer

altissima: tallest

This variety covers a more distinctive taller element with more upright slender leaves.

Distribution area of var. altissima is on the north-west of Grahamstown around Riebeek East and Alicedale.

Distribution map

Leaves can be up to 15 cm long, leaf color tending to greyish-green rather than darker green. After a couple years in cultivation, I cannot see much differents from H. angustifolia - size is almost similar.

It can be very easily propagated by offsetts and doesn´t need any special conditions.
