Re: S."Bacularis"

The S. bacularis varietaga I got from Grigsby several years ago puts up
chopstick-thin spears to about 24" tall, green with a yellow stripe the length
of the leaf. Mine would be easy to transport - even to lose track of; it's very
low-mass.  What exactly does yours look like and, I wonder, what is mine then?
