Haworthia elizeae

A small Haworthia described by Breuer in 2003. It is endemic to Bromberg, a sandstone ridge near Stormsvlei and Swellendam in the Western Cape, where specimens call it very localised. Like most Haworthia it grows partly shaded among rocks and shrubs, in a climate with rain spread across the year.

Where it grows wild

Very localised on a sandstone ridge (specimen label), presumably tucked among rocks and low fynbos shrubs, as most Haworthia are.

The climate site is at 289 m, in the Breede River valley near Stormsvlei.
