Re: [SANS] new identities

Dear Kirk,

I don't have much but here goes.

Sans. 'Bally 30' (from Abbey Gardens) is a renaming (renumbering?) of Sans.
'Bally12681'

Sans. 'Kenya' (from Abbey Gardens) was later renamed Sans. aff. zanzibarica
and is actually Sans.robusta.

Sans. 'Pfennig #115' is the same as Sans. 'nelsonii' which is probably
Sans.subspicata

Sans.roxburghiana was not among the names of Sansevieria species from Koko
Crater listed by Ed Eby (Sansevieria Journ. 1 (1): 3-4 (1992)).

Could Abbey Gardens 71-622 actually be Glass & Foster 71-629?

I'm sure that there are others out there that have more info on these and
the other collections you list.

It would be nice if there was somewhere you could post pictures of these
plants.

Hi Gang,

I've been housebound for a few days following minor surgery, and have had
some time to poke around my plants.  I have a bunch that have labels in
them
with all sorts of strange names and numbers, and I'm wondering if anyone
(like Steve or Juan) has any more information about their true identities
by
now.  I've got some ideas of my own, but would like some other opinions.
Several of them came, directly or indirectly, from Huntington Botanic
Garden:

abbey 71-622 (from Abbey Gardens)
Bally 30 (also from Abbey)
Berkley 71-632
'Dimples' (this from Hermine)
'Kenya' (also from Abbey)
HBG 22830 (abyssinica?)
KU III
'Mystery' (also from Hermine)
Pfennig #115
powellii ex True/Pfennig (looks nothing like powelli)
roxburghiana ex True ex Eby '85 (looks nothing like roxburghiana)
'Stella'


They'll probably all turn out to be the same thing!

Cheers,
Kirk
