Re: [SANS] cultivar names

Hi everyone;

My Friend from the Gates Cactus & Succulent Society has a S. singularis. This
one has three stages of growth and it looks like three different plants!
I think there may be more than one species that acts this way.  I can see it
sure would make for a lot of confusion for taxonomists.

Does the Sansevieria have a tendancy to sport?  In horticulture 101, we were
taught that to put down a leaf of S. trifasciata 'Laurentii'  we would get a
plain trifasciata.  It worked that way every time.  I've since read that these
color breaks are "Chimeras".

I had the opportunity to borrow "The Sansevieria  Book" by Hermine Stover.  It
was an interesting read, if one is as nutty as I am about plants.

Keep the info coming folks...I'm loving it.
