Supanee's Sansevieria page keeps getting better

Its been a while since I last looked at Supanee's Sansevieria page and it
has grown by leaps and bounds. Her Sans.pinguicula is an especially lively
critter! She even has a photo of the genuine Sans.trifasciata 'Forescate'!

There are many more excellent pictures of Sansevierias to be found there.
Three new additions in particular have caught my attention.

Sans. aff. ehrenbergii (Lavranos 24977) appears to be another Sans.rorida
collection.

Sans.deserti (GC 82-64) is another Sans.pearsonii collection.

Sans. 'Frosty Spears' is by far the most interesting new addition. Does
anybody know the origin of the collection and cultivar name? It appears to
be an especially attractive selection of  the long lost Sans.varians N.E.
Brown (Kew Bulletin 1915 (5): 209 (1915)). John Gamesby has a similar
looking plant on his Sansevieria page as Sans.pearsonii 'Short Form' but
not as intensely banded.

This also appears to be the same as the plant that Ernst Van Jaarsveld
cites as Sans.pearsonii form (Transvaal) (Aloe 24 (3/4): 86, pl. (1987); 31
(1): 14 (1994)). This species differs from the closely allied, widespread
Sans.pearsonii N.E. Brown (including Sans.desertii N.E. Brown and
Sans.rhodesiana N.E. Brown) by having distinctly banded leaves and stolons
usually arising at ground level. Maybe Sans.varians has been in cultivation
all along?
