58 HAWORTHIA SPECIES | HERB STORIES
The genus name Haworthia commemorates Adrian Hardy Haworth, an accomplished British botanist, and entomologist, who was born in 1768 and died in the London cholera epidemic of 1833. As an entomologist, Haworth is best known for his work on Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths).
Haworthias are small and deservedly popular succulents from southern Africa. They are generally of easy culture, of small and convenient size, more tolerant of modest lighting than many succulent plants, and come in many beautiful variations on a common theme.
Though the small whitish flowers are less than spectacular, they are rewarding and very willing to come forth under diverse conditions. The real glory is in the succulent leaves, which, depending on species, can be variously colored in greens, reds, or browns (to near-black). Some have leaves that are thin and bristly, others thick and fat. Some are plain, others are marked with lines, bumps, stripes, or dots. All these factors point to why Haworthias are very popular houseplants capable of being grown successfully indoors in all areas of the world, and outdoors where frosts are infrequent and of short duration.
