Haworthia baker

There is no plant called Haworthia baker: the name is a parsing artefact of the genus citation Haworthia Baker (1896), and GBIF's own matcher returns it with an empty author and a 1896 year. The nearest real species is Haworthia bayeri, and any plant labelled this way is most likely a Haworthia from South Africa's Cape succulent country; the profile below describes the genus-typical conditions of the Little Karoo and Eastern Cape.

Where it grows wild

Haworthia grow as small rosettes tucked under shrubs, in rock crevices and among quartz pebbles in semi-arid scrub of the Western and Eastern Cape, where they are shaded from midday sun and often draw their water from dew and fog. Generalised from the genus; no species-level data exists for this name.

Cape Haworthia mostly grow between 100 and 1200 m; no records for this name.
