CC 338 H. sordida.
Purchased from JUM ex Sheilams, SA on
29/05/1988 for the then handsome sum of £12.50, we all believed
it to be an FCP from a clump - but it carries no locality.
A lightly tubercled plant, it is now very
large and is shown in a 3.5 inch pot. We cored the original
plant on 30/05/1988 but the core was lost. The base was planted
in wet peat and was placed in the hot-box. That survived to grow
on to the present specimen. A further 3 leaves were planted into
wet sand over compost and placed in the hot-box where they
rooted strongly and well. The results from one of these leaves
can be seen on our Propagation from
LEAVES page. These
photographs show the plant at Ø 125mm when
it was sold at Auction at the Haworthia Society Convention in
Leicester 2007 |
