Hyacinthoides clan

Hello Group --

With the understanding that Mason-Congo may be a cultivar of hyacinthoides,
I've been looking at some of my plants and noticing certain similarities.
For example, plants which I have labeled macrophylla, conspicua, aff.
conspicua (Zimbabwe), hyacinthoides, Mason-Congo, and to some extent,
raffillii var. glauca, all have leaves which are relatively broad, faintly to
strongly mottled in leopard spots, slightly to extremely pruinose (in fact,
S. aff. conspicua [Zimbabwe] is truly the most blue of all my 150+
sansevierias), rougher textured on the underside than on the upper surface,
and have drying, reddish margins.  This is also true of an unnamed plant I
collected in Tanzania last year. This leads me to suspect that maybe they are
ALL varieties of hyacinthoides.

Any comments?
