Haworthia rossouwii is a species of succulent plant belonging to the genus Haworthia and is classified under the family Asphodelaceae. It is native to Southern Africa, in the Overberg region of the Western Cape Province.
Haworthia rossouwii is most closely related to Haworthia emelyae var. multifolia, which grows far to the north in the Little Karoo. Smaller forms also bear some resemblance to Haworthia herbacea .
Haworthia rossouwii can be confused with specimens of Haworthia mirabilis , especially the more pale and slender varieties such as heidelbergensis, scabra, sublineata and triebneriana. However, Haworthia rossouwii can be distinguished by its narrower and more numerous leaves, which are typically incurved at the tips. It also flowers later in the year than H. mirabilis, in August–September. [1]
Asphodeloideae is a subfamily of the monocot family Asphodelaceae in the order Asparagales. It has previously been treated as a separate family, Asphodelaceae sensu stricto. The family Asphodelaceae has now been proposed to be a nomen conservandum, and the proposal has been recommended for ratification in 2017. In that case, Asphodelaceae will have priority over Xanthorrhoeaceae. This is reflected in the APG IV family lists.
Proteus mirabilis is a Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, rod-shaped bacterium. It shows swarming motility and urease activity. P. mirabilis causes 90% of all Proteus infections in humans. It is widely distributed in soil and water. Proteus mirabilis can migrate across the surface of solid media or devices using a type of cooperative group motility called swarming. Proteus mirabilis is most frequently associated with infections of the urinary tract, especially in complicated or catheter-associated urinary tract infections.
