[SANS] Sansevieria article in BCS journal

I have just received the December journal from the British Cactus &
Succulent Journal and there is a very good article on Sansevieria.
Sansevierias - A Guide Part one by Alan Butler of Brookside nursery.
It gives an Introduction to Sansevieria then goes on to Systemization
where he say's "For ease of identification, we can divide
Sansevierias as follows:
A  species with flattened leaves:
(1) S. trifasciata and all its cultivars
(2) other species

B Species with round or thickened leaves:
(1) Mature cylindrical leaves produced singly from rhizome
(2)Leaves in rosettes, or more or less so.
 this then leads on to four tables listing the plants in each section

Cultivation is only a small part of the article but then there is
only so much you can write about cultivating Sansevierias.
 Then Alan goes into some plants scabrifolia, trif. 'Lilian True',
trif. 'Silver Hahnii', guineensis 'San Remo', trif. 'Futura Hendrika'
and trif. 'Silver Hahnii'
The colour pictures are superb can't wait for part 2. Well to be
honest I have read part two but I have not seen the photographs.
