Re: sp. Lavranos 24534

Dearest Juan,

I understood your reply perfectly. However the topic was flowering the
paniculate species not commonly grown flat leafed ones or Sansevierias in
general. I was referring to a specific group of species found in the genus.
The same question has been posted several different time in several
different ways as to eliminate confusion.

Try these links to see what I mean.

One more time, the paniculate flowered species are the ones that have
branched flower stems.

The three species groups with paniculate inflorescences were posted in my
four part informal species list found in the Sansevierias archives.
http://www.mallorn.com/lists/sansevierias/dec98/msg00095.html

To be absolutely precise, the paniculate flowered species are:
Sansevieria arborescens Cornu (Sans.bagamoyensis N.E. Brown)
Sansevieria sp. aff. arborescens (wide leafed form)
Sansevieria powellii N.E. Brown
Sansevieria ehrenbergii Schweinfurth
Sansevieria robusta N.E. Brown
Sansevieria perrotii Warburg (Sans.zanzibarica Gerome & Labroy)
Sanseviera rorida (Lanza) N.E. Brown
Sansevieria pinguicula Bally

The subject was how easy or difficult it is to get the paniculate flowered
species to flower in cultivation. You and Hermine claim that they are easy
to flower but others have not had your luck. We would like to know how you
get them to bloom so easily.

The subject was not taxonomy or the merit of the various names.

I hope this is enough information to finally get a straight and thorough
answer.

Has anybody else had luck getting them to bloom.

With even kinder regards,
Cereusly Steve

Dear Steve:

Apparently you were not able to read my letter properly.

Among FLAT LEAVED species. Sansevieria parva flowers very easily, more than
most other FLAT LEAVED species.
The most elementary of beginners know that S. parva is a FLAT LEAVED
species.

Also, everybody knows that S. masoniana is a flat leaved species. I was
making reference to the fact that being a FLAT LEAVED species, it does not
bloom often.

I cannot go on contributing to this list when there is no will to understand
my letters unless they are written in an exhaustively thorough wording.

With kindest regards,

Juan
