I recently acquired a plant labelled as Haworthiopsis coarctata v. committesensis SPI 523, but I cannot find any information on it. The SPI numbers do not exist in the two known to me databases, I reckon it's not the S. Hammer's Sphaeroid Institute, or is it?

According to Jakub's website, H. reinwardtii v. committeesensis is a synonym of Haworthiopsis coarctata, so I assume that part of the label is coming from its old classification.

SPI might be Succulent Plant Institute??

Thank you Phil, what a great resource! I even learned about a new SA carnivorous genus, Genlisea!

Could well be, definitely a better shot than my Sphaeroid Institute! May I ask what the Succulent Plant Institute is/was? There seem to be very little information online, not to mention any potential plant lists.
