    hi Norma,

    i would love to trade with you, but i think you are right in that you have all that i have. i've only been collecting for 2 years. but i do love Sansevierias. i just got s. l. 'twisted sister' recently and was very happy about that. i have a couple plants that i haven't been able to ID yet. i'm sure you would know what they are. one in particular is a cylindrical, fan-shaped Sansevieria that looks a lot like the 'Skyline' that Molly sells at CCC in terms of size and form. but mine is a bit glaucus with a silvery/blue tinge. the spears are slightly terrete and the grooves are very straight. i personally think that it's much more attractive than Molly's 'Skyline' (which i also have). i had a friend over that is much more fluent in the language of Sans and his best guess is S. ehrenbergii. But i'm not entirely convinced. anyway, i really have no idea what you have. but i think it's safe to say you probably have EVERYTHING! i think i remember you posting somethere that the only ones you are looking for are eilensis and rorida. both of which i don't have and would love to find as well.

    Do you have S. stuckyi I have a few extra young ones. Do you have an extra one of the light form of 'Skyline' fan San. Cylindria v. cylindrica. 'Skyline' has been a rejected name. Have you found any litature regarding how many leaves it is supposed to have. I have found no litature at this time. It does discuss this form in San. journal 15 but no description. It only discusses how it got the name. Useless information. Norma

    hi Norma,

    i don't think i have a S. stuckyi and would love one for my collection. and i do have an extra 'Skyline', but i don't know if it's cylindrica v. cylindrica or S. cylindrica v. angolensis. it's not huge, but it's a decent size and well rooted. and, no, i haven't found any literature regarding the number of leaves it's supposed to have. Molly at CCC have some with 11 leaves!

    have you ever heard of S. jibola? has ANYONE ever heard of S. jibola, for that matter?

    Hi,

    Jibola is a typo, it is called Jiboia, and that is a cultivar of S. aubrytiana

    hi Helli,

    Thanks! I got one labeled 'Jibola' and couldn't find any reference to it on the internet.

    I still think it is 'Skyline' there are two forms, a light, and a dark, both grow like a fan the leaves are very think and point out like a V. I have seen them up to 14 leaves in a pot, they need giant pots, they will break out of everthing. The flower is nothing to brag about. Norma

    But now I can repeat it. I will try again tonight. Do I post this message and next add the picture right now. I can't find the spot that it says click and share now at the bottom of page. Then the next step in to click the code HTML my third optioon at the bottom os the picture. I am missing something in what I am doing, I'll get the thirteen year old next door to help me if he is home. I want to do this, I don't want it written on my grave stone, The only lady that couldn't post pictures. Norma
