The second one also has a wider channel, and Karen you see what you see, I was thinking the 2nd one may be the S. powellii it is rarely found here in the U.S. both plants are young yet, check back in 5-10 years and perhaps then we can ID it for you. I have S. rorida, and I know it is not that plant. Check with the person you got it from. I also agree about the first one may be S.perroti in good light this species will turn blue. Please folks show us the apex of the leaf, channel, feel both sides of the leaves, top and bottom and let us know how it feels, (sand paper, rough, smooth, waxy). This is important information. Most of them do not tell us who the are for at least 3 years to 20 years, it takes years for experts to classify the species. Some have three stages of growth. There is more than one form of S. rorida. Norma

It does kinda look like S. suffruticosa from some of the pics I looked up on google. I did repot it today and it is a bunch of cuttings like I thought it was. It was a pain to repot, I kept poking myself on my arms with the tips, like agaves do... it's a dangerous weapon lol. Thank you for the answers, I'll write down that name and keep an eye on it, I never realized how many there are that look alike. I really want a cylindrica, snd I knew that this plant was more then likely not one, but I still love it...it's so different from the sans I see for sale everywhere else. And it seems like cylindrica would be common, but not here... Thanks again. Fpt

Definitely a Sansevieria erythraeae! Here is a pic of mine and the S formation is dead giveaway... there are many other Sans out there very similar but they don't have the S that the Sansevieria erythraeae has. The tips are another clue... they are rounded up to the very end unlike cylindrica that has more of a tapered point.

The "8 long months of tireless searching and researching" was tongue-in-cheek. I actually gave up on it but still kept it in the back of my mind. Last weekend there was an annual festival at our botanic gardens that I attended. After going in one of the first plants I saw was this Sans. What would we do without a bit of serendipity? I have a lot of links to many sites and I also have many contacts that I can ask. Often these will provide some clues which can be tracked down. Sometimes you only come up with a blank. Whatever I find I check out on the Kew Gardens register to see whether it's still current. I do have a bit of an obsession with fossicking out the finer details, often more than what most others even want to know about. But I always feel it's better to know a bit more than what you need rather than less than what you need.
