Haworthia is a large genus of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa (Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa).

Asphodelaceae is a family of flowering plants (anthophytes) in the order Asparagales. [1] Such a family has been recognized by most taxonomists, but the circumscription has varied widely.

[1] It can usually be distinguished from its relatives however, by its dark green leaves which become purple in full sun exposure.

Haworthia rossouwii is most closely related to Haworthia emelyae var. multifolia, which grows far to the north in the Little Karoo. Smaller forms also bear some resemblance to Haworthia herbacea . Haworthia rossouwii can be confused with specimens of Haworthia mirabilis , especially the more pale and slender varieties such as heidelbergensis ...
