    Hi, this is is my first post here. Today I picked up a potted succulent plant at a local farmer's market, and unfortunately, the plant was not labled at all (not even with a genus). I think it may be a relatively common species, but I have been searching on nursery websites and I have not found anything quite like it. The way the leaves grow from the plant appear to be similar to that of a Haworthia truncata truncata I have, so I think it may belong to that genus (I wouldn't be surprised if I am completely off, however).

    Anyway, here are some pictures of the plant (the cartoon stuff in the background isn't mine, haha):

    Thanks in advance for any help with this one.

    I'm thinking maybe gasteria? I could be wrong as I'm knew to succulents.
