HAWORRTHIA

Another essentially stemless South African genus belonging to the same family (lily) as Gasteria. Numerous fleshy leaves--in most species covered conspicuously with white, dot-like excrescnces-arranged in rosettes. Rather uninteresting dusters of tubular white, or greenish-white, flowers on tall slender stalks. The basal leaf rosettes, however, make splendid pot specimens; they may be combined effectively with various small cacti. Medium light and, Potting Mixture 6.
