These plants are propagated from material originally collected near Tarasaa, Kenya (Bhitala 1009), and were previously listed as Sansevieria cf arborescence. Sansevieria ascendens is, as the epithet implies, one of the caulescent species of this genus. These plants are a dwarf form, with shorter leaves and much slower growth rates. The inflorescence has the candelabrum appearance of S. ascendens, only smaller. These plants are rooted offsets in one-gallon pots.
