I did not recognize the description and picture John G. posted we seem to now be calling S. erythraeae aka S. schweinfurthii. I do have this plant, and my clone has no channels or grooves which I think shows in the attached picture. This species, according to J. Chahinian in his latest book might show a "round, shallow channel". Chahinian also says the leaves show "several longitudinal deeply impressed lines", but that could come from specimens that are dry. The leaves are normally upright and do not 'weep'.

How about a pic ?


there is a pic in my book somewhere which, after a brief search, Ibelieve has become buried in a drawer full of dog pedigrees. I know thereis a drawing of it with a broken leaf. the leaves are cylindrical anddo  not fan at all, they are slightly wiggly but almost entirelyvertical.
