Haworthia parksiana

Haworthia parksiana is a species of succulent plant native to the Cape Province 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 that offset, and is often hidden in the ground.[2]
