could be but growth pattern of the rossette of leaves would tend to be different One is an asparagus family (sansevieria) and the other a bromeliad.
Bromeliad with have a sort of a cup in the center where water accumulates. even if that space is small, there will be one, even when a flower stalk starts to develop, there will still be debris , insects and and some water in the center. where as sansevieria will not, and (i know you cant uproot a plant in a botanical garden, but it has roots, however shallow). Bromeliad will have pups if its old enough or threatened enough.... SO do you by any chance have more pictures of the lowest part of the plant and of the center of the plant (taken from th dead center of the plant at the top). Lets hope you have more pictures or a label pic? usha di On Tue, Jan 1, 2019 at 7:59 PM Aarti S.
