Gasteria nitida, the Bathurst gasteria, is a succulent plant, native to the Eastern Cape grasslands of South Africa.
A smaller plant, Gasteria armstrongii, which occurs just to the west on the banks of the Gamtoos river, is often considered to be a subspecies of G.nitida, which never leaves its juvenile phase (a possible case of neoteny). The armstrongii plant has rough, tuberculate, recurved, purely distichous leaves, and a solitary unbranched inflorescence.
