Thanks Garg ji for raising query for validation. My posted plant has linear leaves (and is fitting in the range: 20-60 cm × 1-2.5 cm). The *Sansevieria trifasciata* Prain <https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a---l/ar/asparagaceae/sansevieria/sansevieria-trifasciata> page shows leaves of *trifasciata* clearly broader leaves. Since I am not familiar with these ornamental, I may be ignorant of other aspects of both species. Will wait for comments. Regards. Dinesh
