This spiky species is from Angola and Zambia. These plants were collected from material originally collected in Angola (EVJ 18130). The plants have distichous cylindrical leaves with sharp tips that are banded on a slightly roughened surface with a medium-to-dark green color and white, and faintly yellow segments. These plants are distinctive because the leaf bases have a purple cast to them. The flowers are white and slightly larger than most species in the genus Sansevieria. These plants are rooted offsets in 8-inch pots.
