Haworthia cymbiformis is a species of the genus Haworthia in the family Asphodelaceae.
Plants are small with a rosette. The leaves are thick and light green.
The main characteristic of this species is that the ends of the leaves are transparent. In the wild, the sun is very bright, and the plant grows mostly buried by sand with only these transparent tips above the ground.
Some other genus such as Fenestraria also have transparent leaf tips.
