H. chloracantha var. denticulifera, Rooiheuwel

Haworthia chloracantha var. denticulifera (V.Poelln.) M.B.Bayer

denticulifera: bearing small teeth.

H. chloracantha var. denticulifera is small dark green variety with fine spination on the leaves. It is freely offsetting plant, which sometimes form small clusters on the localities. I grows amongst grass or on steep rocky slopes.

Distribution map

Var. denticulifera is growing between Little Brak and Mossel Bay. It occurs along Gouritz river and here it is changing into floribunda var. dentata. I follow Breuer, who puts these form under dentata. Denticulifera is known and common species in cultivation, but it isn´t that easy to find it in nature.

This variety doesn´t need any special conditions to grow. Easiest way of propagation are offsets.

Haworthia chloracantha, Langfontein

Haworthia chloracantha Haw.

chloracantha: green-spined.

H. chloracantha is smaller species, with rosette 2-4 cm in diameter. Colour is yellowish green. Plants are very proliferous and form large clusters in nature. It grows under the bushes and on steep slopes.

Distribution map

H. chloracantha is growing around Herbetsdale and along Gouritz River as it passes through Langeberg mountains. Very confusing are populations of floribunda var. dentata at Herbetsdale, Bayer now includes them into chloracantha, but they are different and much closer to floribunda, because of the colour and leave shape.

H. chloracantha is common in cultivation, doesn´t need any specific requirements. Propagation is easy from offsets.

Aloe chloracantha
