Drimia haworthioides is a species of Drimia native to South Africa. [1]
The bulbs of this plant resemble the Haworthia plant. They are mostly underground, with a small portion sometimes sticking above ground. The bulbs have oblong petals, and have meaty surface portions and thin bottoms connecting them to the single growth point in the middle. [1]
The leaves of this plant are usually green and oval-shaped. Multiple leaves grow from a single growth point on each bulb. The leaves have trichomes which allow it to capture water. [2]
