Ajinkya, you may be quite right...
I had thought of it, except there is no spine on the leaf anywhere other than one on the left side... which may be just a dried up end or a true spine/pointed end.... and no backward bending spines along the outer back column...I cant see any of those hooks that are supposed to have been there...they are not so easy to remove unless one wants to kill the plant and not sell it.... so I don t know.. but your choice is better than mine of Howarthia I think.. ANYBODY else have any ideas out there??? Usha di...
