Sansevieria trifasciata 'Twister'



A dwarf form of 'Laurentii' with slightly corkscrewed leaves. My plant was sent to me in the post, and got rather squashed so it isn't showing much typical form.

The Plant Patent is available online and says:

" The new Sansevieria Twister originated from a naturally-occurring mutation of the Sansevieria Black Gold Superba (unpatented.) The new Sansevieria Twister was discovered and selected by the inventor, Marvin Gonzalez Villegas, as a single flowering plant within the progeny of the stated mutation in a controlled environment in 2004 in Monterrey, San Carlos, province Alajuela, Costa Rica."
