It can usually be distinguished from its relatives however, by its dark green leaves which become purple in full sun exposure. (This species is almost as dark as its relative Haworthia maraisii.) The leaves have a scabrous (rough) sub-tuberculate, slightly translucent surface, covered in faint, parallel lines and sometimes light flecked markings.
Wilted and discolored leaves or leaves with visible pests may recover with treatment, but slimy, sunburned, torn, or holey leaves should also be removed to give your plant more energy to heal.
Longitudinal section of a Lithops plant, showing the epidermal window at the top, the translucent succulent tissue, the green photosynthetic tissue, and the decussate budding leaves growing between the mature leaves. The most startling adaptation of Lithops is the colouring of the leaves.
Haworthia is a large genus of small succulent plants endemic to Southern Africa (Mozambique, Namibia, Lesotho, Eswatini and South Africa). [1]Like aloes and gasteria they are members of the subfamily Asphodeloideae and they generally resemble miniature aloes, except in their flowers, which are distinctive in appearance.
A flowering Fenestraria rhopalophylla, so named due to the translucent leaf window on the tips of its modified leaf.. Leaf window, also known as epidermal window, [1] and fenestration, [2] [3] is a specialized leaf structure consisting of a translucent area through which light can enter the interior surfaces of the leaf where photosynthesis can occur.
The leaves are succulent and egg-shaped, which gave its name to the species. The stems (20 cm long, 1 cm thick) rise then fall with about 15 leaves. These leaves are 3 to 5 cm long, 1.8 to 3 cm wide and 8 to 17 mm thick. Leaves are pale blue-green to bluish-purple, looking like a sugared almond confection. [1]
