I think this plant is Haworthiopsis attenuata, which is way more common than H. fasciata in cultivation. It can be distinguished by the upper surface of the leaves having bumps or ridges on top, and not being smooth like H. fasciata. These plants are frequently confused but attenuata is way more common, and that feature is a sure fire way to tell them apart. I would like to propose moving this image to H. attenuata.

Also this image of what looks like the same plant.



What do you think?

Thanks so much Baja! I'm not at all familiar with Haworthia and it doesn't look like those at the database entry for H. attenuata either so I submitted a proposal to move it to the general Haworthia entry.

I see that I had two photos at the entry for H. fasciata so I've submitted proposal's to move them both over to the general Haworthia entry. Green Grin!

It is H. attenuata, so it would fit in that specific entry. But move it to the generic entry if you like. Smiling
