The genus Haworthia (Liliaceae) is native to South Africa and
Namibia, and is characterised by tremendous morphological
variation in the field. Due to the fact that early taxonomists
described individual plants, the taxonomy of the genus has been
equivocal; for instance, over 400 names have been used at the
infra-generic levels (Court 1981 ). The genus is largely restricted
to the southern Cape province, although H. limifolia occurs in
Mozambique, Swazi land, Mpumalanga and KwaZulu-Natal, H
koelmaniomm in the Northern Province and H. arachnoidea in
Namibia. Haworthia species must therefore be seen in the context
of geographical distribution and field relationships with
other species (Court 1981 ).
