I have always subscribed more to the 'Bayerian' way of thinking in that in that I believe that obserata, opalina, etc should be placed under mirabilis possibly as subspecies and/or varieties and relegating others to form status. I appreciate the fact that zealous lumping will not please growers and collectors. However the taxonomic treatment of Haworthias as with other plants should be based first and foremost on what most accurately portrays the scientific data. There is nothing compelling growers to only use officially recognised names for example now that Haworthia maxima/pumila is Tulista pumila it to not mean that every grower has to go and re-able their plants to reflect this.
