Haworthia akaonii

A Haworthia named by the Japanese specialist M. Hayashi in 2006. Kew accepts it but gives only 'Cape Provinces' as its range, GBIF has no wild records, and the locality was not reachable, so care below follows general Haworthia practice.

Where it grows wild

Like most Haworthia, presumably a small rosette growing among grass, shrubs or rocks, partly shaded and often partly sunk into the soil; the actual locality is unknown to us.

Unknown. The climate point used is at 1042 m in the interior Northern Cape and may not match the species.
