Haworthia badia is known from a few localities near Napier in the Western Cape. The attractive plants with a smooth shiny leaf surface are probably closely related to other spear-point-leaved Haworthias from the western parts of the Western Cape and should belong in the aggregate Mirabilis. The acuminate leaves and shiny leaf surface make this a sought after species. Like other summer flowering Haworthias this species is often not easy to hand-pollinate in cultivation. Propagation is from seed or leaf-cuttings, The seedlings are slow at first but growth accelerates after a few years. Synonym: Haworthia mirabilis "badia". (Sensu M.B. Bayer), The (old Mavica) habitat pictures of Haworthia badia are from between Napier and Caledon. (Seedlings from this area are refered to as GM 395.), |
