Haworthiopsis
''Haworthiopsis'' is a genus of succulent plants in the subfamily Asphodeloideae. The genus was previously included in ''Haworthia''. Species in the genus are typically short perennial plants, with leaves often arranged in a rosette and frequently having raised white markings. The two-lipped flowers are borne on a tall stalk and are small – less than long – and pale in colour. Many species are cultivated as house plants or by succulent enthusiasts. Description ''Haworthiopsis'' species are short perennial plants, with or without an obvious stem. The leaves either form a rosette or are arranged in various spirals on a more extended stem.Molteno S. (2022), "Phyllotaxis in Asphodelaceae subfam. Alooideae: a tool in taxon delimitation." ''Haseltonia'' 28(1), https://doi.org/10.2985/026.028.0107 Individual leaves are smooth or have white markings, which may take the form of small protuberances (tubercules) or be more pointed, almost spine-like. The white markings may be on the ...

Haworthiopsis Attenuata
''Haworthiopsis attenuata'', formerly ''Haworthia attenuata'', commonly known as zebra haworthia, is a small species of succulent plant from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. As an ornamental, it is one of the most commonly cultivated of the ''Haworthiopsis'' species. Description It is an evergreen succulent plant with short leaves arranged in rosettes 6–12 cm in diameter. The succulent leaves are tapered (''"attenuata"'' means "tapering") and have bands of white tubercles on them. The species subdivides and offsets readily; in the wild it forms large clumps. It is popular as a house plant, due to its resistance to drought and general hardiness. It is frequently confused with the rarer ''Haworthiopsis fasciata'', to which it looks very similar. However ''Haworthiopsis attenuata'' can easily be distinguished by its white tubercles, which occur on both upper and lower sides of its leaves (''H. fasciata'' has tubercles only on the underside, with a smooth upper ...

Haworthiopsis Fasciata
''Haworthiopsis fasciata'', formerly ''Haworthia fasciata'', is a species of succulent plant from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa. The species is rare in cultivation; most plants that are labelled as ''H. fasciata'' are actually ''Haworthiopsis attenuata''. Description The plants are generally small, less than 10 cm (4 in) high. The triangular shaped leaves are green with narrow white crested strips on the outside. At the end of the leaf is a non acute spine. The summer flowers appear in October and November, on the end of an inflorescence. The species has similar markings to ''Haworthiopsis attenuata'', which is commonly grown as a house plant. The two are therefore frequently confused with each other, and a great many ''H. attenuata'' specimens are mislabelled as the rarer ''H. fasciata''. However ''Haworthiopsis fasciata'' is rare in cultivation, and can easily be distinguished by the smooth upper (ie. inner) surfaces of its leaves. Its whit ...

Aloeae
Aloeae is a tribe of succulent plants in the subfamily Asphodeloideae of the family Asphodelaceae, consisting of the aloes and their close relatives. The taxon may also be treated as the subfamily Alooideae by those botanists who retain the narrower circumscription of Asphodelaceae adopted prior to the APG III system. Typically, plants have rosettes of more or less succulent leaves, with or without a distinct stem. Their flowers are arranged in racemes and tend to be either small and pale, pollinated by insects, or larger and more brightly coloured, pollinated by birds. , 11 genera are recognized, most created since 2010 by splitting off another five genera from ''Aloe'' and another two from ''Haworthia''. Only two genera, ''Aloe'' and ''Aloidendron'', are native outside southern Africa, extending northwards to the Arabian Peninsula. Seven genera are restricted to South Africa, some with small ranges. Members of the Aloeae are cultivated by succulent plant enthusiasts; ''Aloe'' sp ...

Haworthiopsis Coarctata
''Haworthiopsis coarctata'', formerly ''Haworthia coarctata'', is a species of flowering succulent plant from the Eastern Cape Province, South Africa and naturalized in Mexico. It is one of the species of ''Haworthiopsis'' that is commonly cultivated as an ornamental. Description ''H. coarctata'' grows in large clumps in its natural habitat, with long stems packed with robust succulent leaves. It is normally dark green but sometimes acquires a rich purple-red when in full sunlight. It is frequently confused with ''Haworthiopsis reinwardtii'', which occurs just to the east of its natural range. However ''H. coarctata'' has smaller, smoother and rounder tubercles on its leaves (those of ''H.reinwardtii'' are sometimes larger, flatter and whiter). ''H. coarctata'' also usually has much wider, fatter leaves. Forms and varieties This is a variable species, and several forms and varieties are recognised. Several are listed below: * ''H. coarctata'' var. ''adelaidensis' ...

Haworthia Fasciata - Hankey 2
''Haworthia'' is a large genus of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa (Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa). Like the aloes, they are members of the subfamily Asphodeloideae and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are distinctive in appearance. They are popular garden and container plants. Description and characteristics ''Haworthias'' are small succulent plants, forming rosettes of leaves from to exceptionally in diameter, depending on the species. These rosettes are usually stemless but in some species stems reach up to . The inflorescences of some species may exceed in height. The plants can grow solitary or can be clump-forming. Many species have firm, tough, fleshy leaves, usually dark green in colour, whereas others are softer and contain leaf windows with translucent panels through which sunlight can reach internal photosynthetic tissues. Their flowers are small, and generally white. Though they ...

Asphodeloideae
Asphodeloideae is a subfamily of the monocot family Asphodelaceae in the order Asparagales. It has previously been treated as a separate family, Asphodelaceae ''sensu stricto''. The family Asphodelaceae has now been proposed to be a nomen conservandum, and the proposal has been recommended for ratification in 2017. In that case, Asphodelaceae will have priority over Xanthorrhoeaceae. This is reflected in the APG IV family lists. The subfamily name is derived from the generic name of the type genus, ''Asphodelus''. Members of group are native to Africa, central and western Europe, the Mediterranean basin, Central Asia and Australia, with one genus ('' Bulbinella'') having some of its species in New Zealand. The greatest diversity occurs in South Africa. The genera ''Aloe'', ''Asphodelus'', and ''Kniphofia'' are perhaps best known from their use in horticulture as ornamental plants. Description The Asphodeloideae are distinguished by a general presence of anthraquinones, s ...

Tulista
''Tulista'' is a small genus of succulent plants endemic to South Africa. They were formerly included within the genus ''Haworthia''. Characteristics The genus is characterised by a large size (relative to other haworthias), by their stemless rosette growth form, by the yellow exudate in their non-fibrous leaves, and by their distinctive flowers with robust peduncles. Taxonomy The genus ''Haworthia'' was long considered problematic, and suspected of being polyphyletic. It was accordingly divided into three different subgenera: ''Haworthia'' (the soft, green, leafy, and often retuse species); ''Hexangulares'' (the harder, often tubercled species); ''Robustipedunculares'' (the four largest, most robust species). Several phylogenetic studies have confirmed this division, and shown that ''Haworthia'' actually comprises three clades that are only distantly related. Based on phylogenetic evidence, in 2013, Gordon Rowley revived the genus ''Tulista'', first erected by Constantine Sam ...

Raceme
A raceme ( or ) or racemoid is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing flowers having short floral stalks along the shoots that bear the flowers. The oldest flowers grow close to the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows in height, with no predetermined growth limit. Examples of racemes occur on mustard (genus ''Brassica'') and radish (genus ''Raphanus'') plants. Definition A ''raceme'' or ''racemoid'' is an unbranched, indeterminate type of inflorescence bearing pedicellate flowers (flowers having short floral stalks called ''pedicels'') along its axis. In botany, an ''axis'' means a shoot, in this case one bearing the flowers. In indeterminate inflorescence-like racemes, the oldest flowers grow close to the base and new flowers are produced as the shoot grows in height, with no predetermined growth limit. A plant that flowers on a showy raceme may have this reflected in its scientific name, e.g. the species ''Cimicifuga racemosa''. A compou ...
