# Hi there! My partner bought me this cutie for my birthday back in…

Hi there! My partner bought me this cutie for my birthday back in June and since then we have been going back and forth on what kind of plant this is. I have it labeled on my page as a “mangave” but now I’m thinking it’s a zebra plant or some variation of aloe. Any thoughts?

What did the planta identifier say? I have no idea.

### Sunny commented on 2023-08-18

Looks like Haworthia. I don’t know which kind.

looks like haworthiopsis venosa (or tesselatta), both named for their interesting venation. highly recommend researching these, llifle is a good taxonomical resource

Thank you. I got stuck down the mangave path, but was just about to consult the Oracle aka llifle.
