The two-lipped flowers are borne on a tall stalk and are small – less than ...
The triangular shaped leaves are green with narrow white crested strips on the outside. At the end of the leaf is a non acute spine.

H. glauca typically has pointed, light blue succulent leaves ("glauca" = "blue"), which are packed densely along its stems. The stems branch from the base, and the plant can form clumps. The leaves of this variable species are sometimes incurved, sometimes vertical and erect, and sometimes spreading. In some varieties, the leaves have slight ...
Haworthiopsis tessellata is a succulent evergreen slow-growing species reaching a size of 15 cm in height. It is a stemless plant, with square patterned leaves on the upper surfaces and small teeth along the margins. The leaves are greenish, form a rosette and turn to reddish in full sun. The flowers are white and small, in an inflorescence.
There's a rare, endangered flower that only grows in a small area of Florida. Here's what the flower is, when it blooms and where to find it.
Haworthiopsis scabra is a very variable species, with several very distinct varieties. Its name "scabra" means "rough", but only its type-variety truly has rough leaves. It typically grows its leaves in three tiers (trifarious) though some varieties have five-tier leaf arrangement. Many varieties have a spiral twist to their leaves. [2]
It is a perennial succulent, with stems growing to 20 cm (8 in) in height, with a basal rosette of white-spotted fleshy leaves arranged in a spiral pattern, and racemes of tubular pinkish-white flowers in spring. The plant spreads to form a mat, by means of freely-produced offsets, also a convenient means of propagation. [2]
The pointed leaves are scabrous ("viscosa" means "sticky") and packed densely along its stems. The plant offsets from its base and can eventually form large clumps. In the wild, it often shows damage from grazing animals, as it is a common food source. The flowers appear from October to November.
