Sansevieria Zeylanica is often misrecognized as Sansevieria Trifasciata. Both these species look closely similar and are difficult to tell apart. However, there is a subtle difference in their leaf patterns. Although this variety is less well-known as compared to Sansevieria Trifasciata (commonly known as snake plant or mother in law’s tongue), it is equally tough and hardy.
This plant belongs to the genus Dracaena of the Asparagaceae family.
