Description

Haworthia parksiana, described by Poelln in 1937, belongs to the genus Haworthia in the Asphodelaceae family. It is native to the Cape Provinces and is distinguished by its small size and rosette-forming growth habit. The species is known for its rarity and is often hidden within the soil, making it difficult to locate in its natural habitat.
