Haworthia ID please
This Haworthia was brought to our Sheffield branch meeting last night. Its current ID is Haworthia sp. It's a rather nice clump. My guess would be a fasciata cultivar. Anyone able to either give an alternative or suggest which cultivar?

Try 'Alba' or 'Super White', but I don't know what their status really is, could even be the same plant.

Thanks, Mat
Following up those 2 names, Paddock Plants says Alba and Super White are the same thing, Alba being correct, and that it's an attenuata cultivar, not fasciata (https://paddockplants.co.uk/houseplants ... nuata-alba).
If I'm correct in my reading of various sites, the presence of the white tubercles on the inner/upper leaf surface indicates attenuata rather than fasciata, which would fit with this plant. Not so obvious in the previous photo, but clear from this angle:
So I'll go with Haworthia (OK, maybe Haworthiopsis) attenuata Alba (aka Super White).
Unless anyone cares to disagree...

Shame it's out of stock, I'd take it for a fiver!
It's the first time I see an online store with such detailed description of a plant. It makes me feel almost compelled to purchase something from them. Well done Paddock, whoever you are!

It seems to me that it's super white, but I'm not sure.
