Haworthia decipiens ("Papierrosie") is a species of Haworthia, in the family Asphodelaceae, in the Western Cape and Eastern Cape Provinces of South Africa.

[1] Haworthia decipiens is frequently confused with its western relative, Haworthia arachnoidea and is both variable and hard to identify ("decipiens" = "deceptive").

Like its relatives, it has rosettes of dense succulent leaves, which dry and contract during drought, and are covered in soft bristles.

[2] This is a widespread species, occurring from near Prince Albert in the west, along the north of the Swartberg Mountains as far as Uniondale and Willowmore in the Eastern Cape.

It occurs in a wide range of habitats and usually in the shelter of protective shading bushes.
