Haworthia truncata forma crassa V.Poelln.

H. truncata forma crassa is an interesting form of H. truncata from area to the South and East of Calitzdorp. It is characteristic by leaves in dichotomous order, but leave tips are rounded like at H. maughanii. South of Calitzdorp is a population, growing together with maughanii, where plants are freely hybridizing together. You can find there pure forma crassa and maughanii and than all froms in between. More to to the East you go, more "normal" truncata you find. They are generally smaller, with few leave tips visible. Some clones are typical crassa, some resembles more normal truncata. Cutlivation is same as other truncata species.
