Haworthia chloracantha is a species of succulent plant native to the Cape Province of South Africa.[1] H. chloracantha has typically pale yellow-green leaves and is somewhat similar to Haworthia reticulata in form, but the leaves are opaque rather than translucent.[2] It forms prolific clusters of plants. The plant has a few subvarieties including var. denticulifera, meaning has small teeth on its leaves, and var. subglauca, which has darker foliage.[3]
