Tulista kingiana (formerly Haworthia kingiana) is a rare, slow-growing succulent subshrub native to the Western Cape of South Africa. Prized by collectors, it forms a compact, stemless rosette of thick, lance-shaped leaves covered in shiny, white tubercles. In summer, it produces small pinkish-white tubular flowers on a sturdy stalk. Cold-tolerant, long-lived, and strikingly textured, Tulista kingiana is a standout for collectors and succulent enthusiasts. This plant is listed on the IUCN Global Red List as endangered.
