Re: [SANS] S.bagamoyensis

Dear Alan,

Once again it appears we cannot depend that the plants we receive are
correctly named. Data and documentation can help unravel the identities of
questionable plants.

Since Sansevieria bagamoyensis is a nomenclatural synonym of Sans.
arborescens, one or the other of the plants you have under those names must
be an impostor. Are both arborescent with spirally arranged leaves? Do you
have any data on your plants or know their origin?

***********************************

Is your plant genuine Sans. stuckyi or could it be Sans. 'Leopard Bat'?

We have both S.arborescens and S.bagamoyensis in the collection and they
look different.

S.bagamoyensis has a much wider and thinner leaf, apt to flop with age. The
plant is definately more tender than S.arborescens as we have twice lost
shoot tips in the Winter at around 50 F.

We flowered S.powellii last year, but no seed. S.arborescens tried to
flower one winter but aborted. S.bagamoyensis has to grow first!

S.eilensis is very very slow, but not difficult so far anyway.

We have a plant labelled S.stuckyi. It looks to me like a paler form of
S.fischeri. It has not flowered yet, although our S.fischeri flowers every
year. Strange flower flat on the soil surface.

All the best from England, where the summer is over for now
