Can anyone identify this plant??

Question

I have a houseplant that I'm trying desperately to identify, but am not having any luck. I'll try to describe it (don't know if I can upload a photo?)... It's dark green, no leaves, just five woody, round, tapering "stems" that fan out from a central root. The stems are about 2 - 2.5 feet long. And it had a very long shoot coming from the side (probably about 4 feet long), which I have now tried to replant (we'll see how that goes...). Any ideas will be very welcome! Thanks!!!

Answer 1

I'm certain it's Sansevieria cylindrica.

Answer 2

The photos look like Sanseveria, also called mother-in-law's tongue and snakeplant.  But you described it as having woody stems and Sanseveria don't.

Sansevieria trifasciata is a species of Sansevieria, native to tropical west Africa from Nigeria east to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. It is commonly called the snake plant, because of the shape of its leaves, or mother-in-law's tongue because of their sharpness.

It is an evergreen herbaceous perennial plant forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping rhizome, which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range between 70–90 cm in length and 5–6 cm in width.

Ficus? Cannabis? Sequoia? Lamb's Quarters? Aloe? Coconut Palm? Crabgrass? Juniper? Philodendron? Corn? Sugar Maple? Dandelion?...

Post a pic. That'll make this a LOT easier for both of us...

Arabidopsis? Marigold? Mountain Ash? Primrose? Soybean?...

Oh yeahhh... Sansevieria Cylindrica... I was gonna guess that right after Soybean... (I totally knew that!)

Answer 4

Post a link to an imagebucket or similar site where you have uploaded the photo, this will help others know what this plant looks like.
