Haworthia angustifolia var. baylisii (C.L.Scott) M.B.Bayer 

baylisii: for Col. R.D.A. Bayliss 

This variety was described by Bruce Bayer from the Western edge of angustifolia distribution range. It has much shorter and broader leaves. They grow in steep cliffs along Witrivier deep in Suurberg Mountains. The terrain is not very accessible, but once you are in right spot, they can be quite numerous and often grow in large clusters.
