HAWORTHIA AND SUCCULENT AUCTION



This blog is dedicated to plants from desert regions around the world as well as plants that have adapted to withstand arid conditions, but do not occur in real deserts. Many of the plants are found in arid semi-desert regions. There will be a greater emphasis on succulent plants, but others will also be included. This blog deals with desert plants of the Americas, Africa, Arabia and others. We are situated in South Africa and South African plants are likely to feature more dominantly. The pictures taken are from our private botanical desert garden at Leopoort near Oudtshoorn, from plants in nature, as well as other collections.

Haworthia helmiae


Haworthia helmiae occurs at an isolated locality at the foot of the Outeniqua mountains in the Southern Cape. It is one of many Haworthia species that have enough unique characteristics to be a species in their own right, but also show affinity with other species.

So far Haworthia helmiae, seems very localised.



M.B. Bayer regards Haworthia helmiae as a form of Haworthia outeniquensis.
