I’m not convinced. What do you think?

Obviously not haworthioides. Suspect it is a cross. Although I have no idea about the parents.

Strangely enough somebody wants to swap my plant for the real thing.

Wow. I actually got the exact similar looking plant today from one of my trusted sellers. Ended up back in here for ID! .

He has no ID for the plant, but I do agree on haworthioides lineage probability, given the small stature of the plant. I have another shipment of hybrids and the real haworthioides arriving later next week. I find this one to be weirdly attractive probably because it has some break from the dazzling hybrids we are seeing now-a-days.

I now have the real thing, or as close as I can get. When it was discovered only a few plants have made it into cultivation apparently.

I don’t grow hybrids at all.
