Re: [Sansevierias] RE: S. sambiranensis?

Okay back from the blood letting.
First Annies Magic Garden just south of San Antonio, Texas might be worth
asking as they do sell this along with many other Sansevieria though at the
moment out of stock.
I have put out a feeler to a couple of European sellers, I need to replace
mine anyway.

The article Sansevieria sambiranensis by Alain Rzepecky in Sansevieria the
ISS journal No.29 February 2013 pages.18-23.
Includes two pictures of the inflorescence one from a freshly collected
inflorescence from the herbarium specimen Peter B. Phillipson 2023 MO,1987
This picture of a nice pink inflorescence the other picture is from a plant
cultivated in Antananarivo, Madagascar, 2012, this one is red in colour.
Note the description says light red flowers yellow fruit.
It grows in lose stones, liassic limestone at the base of the massif of
Monongarivo, Sambirano slope.
The article also shows the herbarium dried specimens.
This is an in depth very accurate account of this plants geography, history
and description.Alain goes on to say "Whether its genus name seems
appropriate or not is of personal opinion".
