This was one of my first hybrids.  I always thought that the truncata X retuse haworthia hybrids I had seen tended to have interesting leaf morphology but uninteresting green leaf coloration.  My goal was to make one with more interesting leaf coloration, so I crossed a very dark truncata to a dark badia. This hybrid has a lovely chocolate color and unusual leaf morphology. I will be offering offsets of this plant in my e-bay auctions.
