Photographed in habitat.

There exist arguments that this plant should be regarded as Haworthia laeta, Haworthia hayashii,

Haworthia truteriorum affinity etc. Mention has been made that the flowers appear in January, but I have  found them flowering in spring in habitat a similar time then H bayeri or H laeta.
