Haworthia herbacea is a species of succulent plant in the genus Haworthia native to the Cape Province of South Africa.[1] Closely related to Haworthia reticulata,[2] it has greenish yellow leaves with small spines. As it matures the leaves get darker green and the white spots raise. Flowers by way of a shoot and produces a large off-white flower.[3]
