This popular "species" is of unknown origin and not considered a valid species by Bayer. It's probably a hybrid of Haworthia coarctata. This plant has been grown under "stressed" conditions, with inadequate water and warmth and too much sun, producing this colorful specimen. It's normally dark green with purple overtones in some conditions.
