This one was in shade from a over hanging rock and looks a much larger form.

Is decipiens still a valid name? I think that's what we said this was at the time. With Jan Vlok on Grootkop, near Oudtshoorn. Six inch rosettes or larger, as I recall.

Please volunteer correct names if needed!

Sure is and looks right to me. I love how tightly some of those starkiana spiral much tighter than anything I have.

Thanks Chris
It is always good to see where plants grow and what they really look like.

I was amazed to find two such choice Haworthias growing together. These H.aranea were with H.scabra. I imagine a hybrid between the two would be rather nice, but we only spent a short time here and didn't see any.
