Guineensis, aubrytiana/metallica


Thank You very much To Juan Chahinian for the information, that I am the lucky owner of a S.Guineensis/Longiflora. I was really taken by surprise.
 
And now, when I took a look on the plant through the new glasses, as an extra astonishment, I spotted the first flower on it's way.
 
About my "big" Hahnii type. I understand, that Trifasciata Futura is a low type, yellow margined Trifasciata. I Guess that a reverse plant, will look more like a low green Trifasciata, but this plant looks exactly like a Hahni. The only difference is the much longer leaves. Uptill 35 cm/14 inch.
 
I have been looking on the photographs from John Gamesby.  I have bought a plant very similar to the "aubrytiana ?" from the Botanic Garden Store in Copenhagen. It was labelled S. metallica. The patterning and form of the leaves looks identic and my plant has very thin red/brown margins too.
I can't judge the size from the photograph, my plant grows to about 4 feet tall.
 
Could it be the same, or maybe mine is wrong labelled?
