Haworthia floribunda var. dentata M.B.Bayer

dentata: toothed.

H. floribunda var. dentata is the Eastern form of the floribunda "complex". In diameter it reaches 3-4 cm, leaves are very variable, can dark green to light green, from scabrid to smooth and often with spined margins. It distribution area is from Riversdale in the West up to Gouritz River in the East. Around Riversdale it slowly integrates into "normal" floribunda and often it is very hard to distinguish between them.

Distribution map

In the East of its distribution limit near Gouritzriver and towards Hersbetsdale it is gradually changing into to H. chloracantha var. denticulifera, which occurs at the Mossel Bay - Klein Brak area and H. chloracantha var. chloracantha which grows around Herbetsdale. Connection with H. parksiana can´t be ruled out as well. Forms from Gouritz river valley are much more clustering then those from the West.

In cultivation they grow without any troubles and progation is easy with offsetts or seed.
