Haworthia lanosa - Doornkloof
Rather attractive plants from Doornkloof east of De Rust. Haworthia lanosa is similar to Haworthia arachnoidea but more spiny. Although they compare also with Haworthia aranea, the latter usually is found on shady south facing slopes while Haworthia lanosa on sun facing slopes.

The plants should not be confused with Haworthia erii which occurs on the same farm, but grows up on the mountain and has translucent leaves.
Seedlings are very scares and here and there one will be available on Plant Auction.
