Definitely a hawthornia... of some sort

Hi there, so I bought (rescued) this plant from a pharmacy display last summer and have been occasionally scouring the internet trying to find a specific name to identify it by. I know it has to be some kind of hawthornia, but I haven't seen anything that looks very close to this little guy. Would you know more specifically what this plant is?
Hi Kirsten, I'm pretty sure you mean Haworthia, which this plant definitely resembles.
Due to the fact that it looks a little bit drawn, as though not getting quite enough light I would not be able to 100% identify it, but I'm going to hazard a guess that it might be one of the many hybrids with Haworthia obtusa or H. cymbiformis in its background.
You can see more Haworthia here, with some care instructions.
Hope that helps,
Jacki
