S. BREDASDORP - JDV 88-67  

A very handsome plant received from Bob Swan, ex JDV, on 09/09/1998 and the subject of an ink drawing.

Obtained from Jumanery, ex California, as H. mirabilis

but visitor discussions favour badia owing to the shape of the retuse area.

One of three plants produced from 124 of our own seed, CCO 219, which were sown on 22/02/1992.

The parent plants were from Jumanery ex California - (CC469 x CC468, above).

Very nice, whatever you choose to call them - but if you have any information on the probable Californian source, I'd be glad to clarify the name.

Produced from seed received from Cok, (CG 93-111) ex Field Collected Parent plants and which was sown on 29/11/1993.

A dark, textured and handsome clone with long-tipped leaves. It has produced one offset which I have removed to a separate pot as .

These 2nd and 3rd NEW photographs show the 'belt & braces' plant at Ø 75mm and with one further offset developing when it was sold at Auction at the Haworthia Society Convention in Leicester 2007

One of 11 plants produced from 20 seeds of (CG 93-112) which were sown on 29/11/1993.

This particular clone is very dark and with long, pointed leaves. It has previously produced an offset on an inflorescence, which I was able to remove when it was large enough - and I was also able to root it successfully.

In recent months the main plant has begun 12 offsets around the base of the original head - so it should become available in due course.

When sown on 29/11/1993, 11 plants plants were produced from 20 Field Collected Parents' Seeds which were received from Cok Grootscholten (CG 93-112).

Several plants from this area, produced by various growers, have shown this attractive speckling in the throat of the leaves. This is also found in some striking H. emelyae. See Gallery 8b, CC 2149.

The variability in the subjects of these photographs show we really do need far more information about just what is growing within this locality and what their relationships are.

Very few H. mirabilis v. badia show the glorious chestnut colouration associated with the name.

Received from Hiroshi Kobayashi of Japan in 1991 as H. beukmannii, ex ISI (or Jay Dodson himself, perhaps?).

I also received, at a later date, another very similar, if not exactly the same, plant as H. correcta - `nice, natural plant ex Jay Dodson, ISI', (CC 1230).

If you know of a similar plant with the above data, or not, please let me know.

DT has suggested it was a badia.

It will slowly fill a 9cm diameter pan to overflowing and this untypical photograph was taken after several leaves had been removed for propagation purposes.

It comes readily from leaves and is well worth the time and effort of multiplying it.

Received from Hiroshi Kobayashi in 03/1992 as a 'nice, good form'.

Possibly a Charles Craib FCP but with no locality.

This is the glossy, tapered-leaf form found so desirable and it does take on a chestnut tint.

When this photograph was taken, I had removed several of the outer leaves to try to propagate it.

From our own seed, batch number CCO 594 which was sown on 26/12/1996.

The parents were - (CC 1231, above, x CC 1520, above).

More blushing than chestnut.

CG 2119 ex LAV. Received in 11/1993 as a 9+ leaved single, neat head of 7cm diam; one half of a twin headed plant.
