Which one could it be?

8 years ago

I visited my local/only greenhouse in the immediate area today and found that they had a new variety of Sans. The grower has no idea what kinds he has, so I can ask til I'm blue in the face but never receive any type of help/identification. What I came across looked like it could have been something like a caespitosa, dooneri, or parva. The leaf blades were approximately a half inch wide by about 6-8 inches long but the owner is constantly dividing his Sans to try to keep up with demand so I'm not sure if any of those could constitute as a mature leaf. I didn't pay attention to how many leaves were in a clump but they were also very flexible and had a closed leaf tip. Anybody have a clue how to tell those three types apart or what it could possibly be?


By the way, he also had some that showed clumps that were considerably tighter forming than normal, almost similar (but not as much variegation) to the S. trifasciata 'Night Star' in this link. There was also this guy...

whose leaf width caught my eye... with my fingers at roughly 4 inches, this leaf was about 5-5.5" wide. Maybe it's just a rare circumstance on a happy plant, but I've never seen one that wide on any of his before.


Well, I did't buy anything this visit... I really really wanted to though :)
