Scientific Name | Haworthia transiens (Poelln.) M.Hayashi |
Higher Classification | Monocotyledons |
Family | ASPHODELACEAE |
Synonyms | Haworthia cymbiformis (Haw.) Duval var. brevifolia Poelln., Haworthia cymbiformis (Haw.) Duval var. multifolia Triebner, Haworthia cymbiformis (Haw.) Duval var. transiens (Poelln.) M.B.Bayer, Haworthia cymbiformis (Haw.) Duval var. translucens Triebner & Poelln., Haworthia planifolia Haw. var. transiens Poelln., Haworthia transiens (Poelln.) M.B.Bayer |
National Status |
Status and Criteria | Data Deficient - Taxonomically Problematic |
Assessment Date | 2014/03/24 |
Assessor(s) | L. von Staden, R.R. Klopper & J.C. Manning |
Justification | A poorly known species, that is difficult to distinguish from Haworthia cooperi and H. cymbiformis. Until taxonomically resolved, its risk of extinction cannot be assessed. |
Distribution |
Endemism | South African endemic |
Provincial distribution | Eastern Cape, Western Cape |
Range | This species' distribution is unknown. |
Habitat and Ecology |
Major system | Terrestrial |
Description | The species' habitat is unknown. |
Population |
Population trend | Unknown |
Notes |
| Haworthia has been plagued with an overprolification of names, recognising variation over similarity, and causing much confusion (Bayer and Manning 2012). The genus needs to be revised using population-level molecular techniques in order for species concepts to be resolved (J.C. Manning pers. comm. 2014). |
