Haworthia parksiana

Haworthia parksiana is a species of succulent plant native to the Western Cape of South Africa.[1] Regarded as the smallest and one of the rarest types of Haworthia in the wild,[2] it is thought to be most closely related to Haworthia floribunda.[3] It grows in rosettes up to about 4 centimetres (1.6 in) in diameter,[4] and is often hidden in the ground.[2]
