This recently described species is propagated from material originally collected near the type locality of Igomaa, Tanzania (Bhitala 1000). This broad-leaf species, once considered to be S. kirkii, has upright leaves that are thicker and taller than Sansevieria hallii, its potential relative. The leaves are stiff and dark, have a green background with obscure patterns, and have a thin, white-red shredding margin. This is the mature form of this species. These plants are rooted offsets in 2-gallon pots.
