e-mail newearth — 2013-06-18T17:17:51

Sansevieria sp. Speck's Nr.21124 Ethiopia. Sidamo pass. Loc.17/13.
Again nothing new looks like aetiopica to me though a very nice clone and
well worth having.

[Sansevierias] "...the MOTHER of TENZAN" [1 Attachment]

2013-06-06T17:04:15

Yes, metallica is the mother of Tenzan. I have posted here many times in the past pictures of 'Tenzan' and have given it away to many with the label Tenzan.  Perhaps a decade ago, Tenzan was marketed by Asiatica under the catchy, alliterative name, 'Siam Silver'. The name 'took' and it may now be impossible to regain its original and correct name of 'Tenzan'. Such is the power of the computer world. I would like to think persons on this forum would always use the correct name when the subject comes up.
I am attaching here a picture of metallica, the Mother of Tenzan, that was collected by myself in southern Florida 8 years ago. Given enough room, this species is a hoss of a plant, not really suitable for pot culture, although it can certainly be grown in pots. Note yardstick in picture.

Okay Gang over on FB on the "Sansevieria Flower Blooms" Group
Dharmawan <https://www.facebook.com/dharmawan.arifin?hc_location=stream>
has
put up some pictures of his plant in flower see bellow. Unfortunately he
does not have a name for it though he does say it's a species not a hybrid.
I reckon it just might be *Sansevieria humiflora.*
If you go over to the group on fb the language is usually Tai/Indonesian.
but if you ask a question in English they will usually reply and anyway
that's what the translator is for.
