Kyle, this is a web site with color pictures of many Sansevieria species whose names I think you can pretty much trust as accurate:

Yes of course…photo id / personal ID are all welcome…as said my problems that I have all the original plants that Russ gave me….none from other sources and the original names he listed…so Russ' memory or labeling had to be off on some…thats why I took all new photo's as I did…trust me when you look online…you get about 30 different Sansevierias for any one your looking for….drive's me crazy…even more so that NO ONE has ever bothered to make an accurate Photo library of all Species and Hybrids…I mean for christ's sake's people….they've only been grown for what 1000 + years?

Well - my offer stands to do a photo share / in-person ID, since I have most of the ones you have, if not all, except for Okeechobee, which I've never heard of. So, if you decide to take me up on my offer, you can reach out to me - mine are all properly named and tagged.

Well That's the problems…though at first I was grateful for Russ' gift of the cuttings and divisions…there are a couple in question..'Dwarf Jade', 'Futura simplex', 'Javanica' and the unnamed ones in the folder you'll have to look at to figure out…I can't…I've poured over photos of each species and hybrid / cultivar I think it is and I am going blurry eyed with the discrepancies...

Kyle, your are a Renaissance Man! a poet! a philosopher! I can appreciate your wanting to know the names of your Sansevieria family, but now how can you dare to even think of discarding one of your family that the Almighty made just because it don't have a scientific name?
Mike

I have thought about this over the years…and honestly I am of the mindset that regardless of the 'ugliness' of a plant…it came to be in its own time and fashion, not muddle nor marred by the hand of any man who desired better traits for the aesthetically pleasingness of the eye…..give me a ragged wild plant to gaze upon over any first class blue ribbon awarded plant any day, so that i may dream of far away lands and not laboratories and man made enclosure's….
