HAWORTHIA AND APICRA LISTS 
' Haworthias and Apicras are pot plants treasured for their 
unigue variations in plant forms, Flowers, in all instances, are 
very minute borne on slender branching stems and are usually 
white or greenish, sometimes faintly pink. MUaworthia flowers are 
small with spreading petals and by SMALL we mean up to one-half 
inch in diameter. Apicra flowers are about the same but tubular 
or prismatic. 
No attempt is made to describe these plants in detail. Be- 
tween two groups of Heworthias there can be many transitional forms 
which make it difficult to say where sections begin or end.
