Re: [Sansevierias] TWISTY

Hermine I went into the group library and looked in your book
Schweinfurthii pg 34 and ripped the picture (not the best in the world).
This clearly shows a round leaf plant with a channel  so I don't think this
is schweinfurthii/erytraeae.
*Sansevieria** schweinfurthii* Täckh. & Drar, Fl. Egypt 3: 305 (1954),
contrary to Art. 36.1 ICBN. This name is a synonym.
*Sansevieria erythraeae Mattei, Boll. Stud. Inform. Giardino Colon. 4: 170
(1918).* <http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/namedetail.do?name_id=287096>
