Many years ago I bought a variegated Sansevieria 'Masons Congo' over the years it has reverted back then last year put out a strange yellow leaf with green edge it is also dwarf by masoniana standards. I almost lost the plant three years ago but managed to keep it going. At the moment it is hiding in my jungle of Sansevierias If I can dig it out I will take a picture tomorrow.
