Abstract

The original description of Sansevieria arborescens was incomplete, and the name was misapplied by Brown in his 1915 monograph. The suggestion that S. arborescens and S. bagamoyensis might be conspecific has yet to be supported by convincing evidence. Plants matching the protologue of S. arborescens have flowered in cultivation, and an amplified description is provided. Some plants in Kenya that were erroneously called S. arborescens are described as a new species, S. dumetescens, distinguished by their longer and recurved leaves, and larger inflorescence.
