Haworthia blackburniae W.F.Barker
blackburniae: for Mrs H. Blackburn
H. blackburniae is unusual species with long, slender, grass-like leaves. Usually it prefers in nature cooler, protected southern slopes. In some forms leaves are only 6 cm long but in others they can reach 20 cm. H. blackburniae has thick, fusiform roots.
Its distribution range is from the Anysberg in the West to the Calitzdorp in the East. Recently a new locality far to the South on Bonnieadle road has been reported. H. blackburniae grows in some localities in dense clusters, in others it remains solitary. There is a very interesting form near Calitzdorp at Kleinberg, where plants have much wider and shorter leaves.
Distribution map
In cultivation it is not easy plant, but if you keep in cooler place during hot summer days, it should be fine. Propagation can be done by offsetts or by seed.

The cultivar I have is called H. blackburniae var derustensis. It has rather long, narrow leaves and flowers in the winter in N. America. It has very thick roots as noted, and I pot it in a tall terra cotta pot with a clay based soil which dries quickly. It has suffered a maelybug attack in the past, but survived. I have had it since 2002 and it has not offset.
