Sansevieria

Sansevieria is a genus of plants comprising about 70 species of flowering plants native to Africa, Madagascar, and South Asia. It is often included in the genus Dracaena; in the APG III classification system, both genera are placed in the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Nolinoideae (formerly family Ruscaceae). It has also been placed in the former family Dracaenaceae. The genus was originally named Sanseverinia de Petagna to honor its patron Pietro Antonio Sanseverino, Count of Chiaromonte (1724-1771), but the name was changed for reasons unknown to Thunberg, possibly influenced by the name of Raimondo di Sangro (1710-1771), ruler of San Severo in Italy. There are wide variations within the genus, and species range from succulent desert plants, such as Sansevieria pinguicula, to thinner tropical plants, such as Sansevieria trifasciata. Plants often form dense clumps from a rhizome or spreading stolons.
