Thanks

Hi everyone,

Thanks Steve for the answers and research done. It was very helpful.

The mystery plant S.bagamoyensis was obtained in a collection bought from
Reading University and collected by Paul Mbugua, a student of Len Newton at
Nairobi University. He was doing a thesis on Sansevierias for his MSc
degree. The original material may have come from Kew. Anyway as I have said
before it is similar to S.arborescens, but the leaves are about three times
the width and twice the length, so it must be at least a sub-species. Juan,
maybe you can check it next time you are over.

Thanks also for your ideas on S.ehrenbergii and the possible real names of
other plants masquerading under the same name. I think I go along with your
ideas, although the photo of S.perottii in the Euphorbia Journal is not
clear enough to really see.

Someone, was it Hermine? mentioned sending "a Brit" along to Kew! Now you
in the colonies had better be careful. It's about time we reestablished
control over our empire! Anyway, being serious, yes, given some notice I
could look up things.

We have S.schweinfurthii in flower tonight for the first time. Not terribly
exciting, but a first for us. 

All the best,
Alan
