ID Please

I found this sans in the plant district and I thought it looked pretty cool. However, I do not know what type of sans this is. Please chime in if you know what variety this one is.

I agree with Barb and Fred, looks like Fernwood.

City plants, this is a hybrid so will propagate true from leaf cuttings... not always the case with some sansevierias. This one looks just about full size, it should start to offset soon. Looking at pics again, I think it's started already.

Robdb8, parva is similar but the form of the rosette, bright cross banding and thicker leaves are distinctive. You'd see the difference right away if you saw them together.

Good to see activity here, been a long winter and an extraordinarily cold one for me. Should be over in a few weeks here, in the 80s for quite a while already.

That is a really cool looking Sans. Hopefully Russ will have a look-see sorry I can't be of more assistance.

It may be Fernwood.

I don't know the ID, but it's quite nice. Great find.

Just wanted to suggest caution pls w/ the way you've double potted it. While it looks nice, that's a rather tight fit btwn the 2 pots, could allow water to collect in the bottom & also the tight fit doesn't really allow the roots to breathe. I'd find a larger outer pot for it.

It's hard for me to see online, is parva a flatter leaf?

Russ, I believe this looks like one you sent me labeled "Sp. 'Uganda'"

Do you happen to remember it? Is it the same as this one?

Parva's leaves are flatter and wider
