Diagnostic description

It is nearest to H. retusa var. solitaria G. G. Smith, but is a larger and taller growing plant, the leaves are somewhat less retused, and the end-awn is longer. From: Smith, GG. 1946. Some new species and varieties in the genus Haworthia. V. J. S. African Bot. 12: 1-14. [CC BY] As: Haworthia retusa (L.) Duval var. densiflora G.G.Sm.

It is nearest to H. comptoniana. From: Scott, CL. 1985. The genus Haworthia (Liliaceae): a taxonomic revision. Aloe Books, Johannesburg. [All rights reserved] As: Haworthia multilineata (G.G.Sm.) C.L.Scott

Its nearest affinity is with H. longebracteata, but it seems to be intermediate between H. longebracteata and H. correcta. It differs from H. longebracteata in that it forms large clumps. From H. correcta it differs by its longer and more tapering leaves, longer inflorescence, and later flowering time. From: Scott, CL. 1985. The genus Haworthia (Liliaceae): a taxonomic revision. Aloe Books, Johannesburg. [All rights reserved] As: Haworthia geraldii C.L.Scott

The species is nearest to H. multilineata which occurs a few kilometres to the west of Riversdale, but it differs from that species by its smooth and ± vertically positioned leaves. The margins and keel are smooth or lightly dentate, having fewer lines on the end-area. From: Scott, CL. 1985. The genus Haworthia (Liliaceae): a taxonomic revision. Aloe Books, Johannesburg. [All rights reserved] As: Haworthia fouchei Poelln.

Near Haw. retusa (L.) Haw. but the end-faces of the leaves are not as retuse, are more acuminate and the color is a paler green. From: Brown, JR. 1969. Notes on Haworthias. Cact. Succ. J. (Los Angeles) 41(1): 57-59. [All rights reserved] As: Haworthia fouchei Poelln.

This Haworthia is quite distinct by the symmetrical rosette of broad leaves and the numerous lines on the pellucid, retused faces of the leaves. The top of the leaves being level with the soil, thus being difficult to find and is not very numerous. From: Brown, JR. 1953. Notes on Haworthias. Cact. Succ. J. (Los Angeles) 25(1): 8-11. [All rights reserved] As: Haworthia retusa (L.) Duval var. multilineata G.G.Sm.

Compared with the species this plant is larger, has longer, broader and darker green leaves which are more retused, there are many more face lines on the end-area, and the margins and keel are entire except for very minute teeth on the margins on the lower half of the leaf. From: Smith, GG. 1946. Some new species and varieties in the genus Haworthia. V. J. S. African Bot. 12: 1-14. [CC BY] As: Haworthia retusa (L.) Duval var. multilineata G.G.Sm.

The plants grow, flat, with the retused surface level with the ground, and although found in dense patches, they are all single. Compared with the species, this variety has a long persistent end-awn, the end-area is rough with small concolorous tubercles, has more face lines, the margins and keel have many small teeth and the peduncle is much thicker and with a short dense raceme.

Habitat

It occurs from the coast to about 150 km inland, at altitudes up to 800 m. Rain falls almost evenly throughout the year reaching a maximum of about 800 mm per annum. H. multilineata grows in a firm sandy soil with pH 6.8. From: Scott, CL. 1985. The genus Haworthia (Liliaceae): a taxonomic revision. Aloe Books, Johannesburg.

H. fouchei grows on well drained slopes covered with short grass, or on flat land, or in exposed positions or under Renosterbos, at an altitude of about 200 m. Its distribution area receives an annual rainfall of about 200 to 300 mm which is more or less evenly distributed throughout the year. H. fouchei grows in a firm sandy soil with pH 6.5. From: Scott, CL. 1985. The genus Haworthia (Liliaceae): a taxonomic revision. Aloe Books, Johannesburg. [All rights reserved] As: Haworthia fouchei Poelln.

It shows a preference for stony and clayey soils. It occurs in exposed conditions, growing into large clumps, at an altitude of about 200 m. This area receives an annual rainfall of 300 to 500 mm which is distributed throughout the year. H. geraldii grows in a firm hard soil with pH 6.5. From: Scott, CL. 1985.
