Sansevieria Pinguincula

Sansevieria PinguinculaSansevieria pinguicula. This sanse is very rare species that looks more like a dwarf Agave. Painfully slow growing but quite impressive when mature. First discovered and named by Peter Bally in 1964.

The leaf color can vary from a pale green to beautiful blue. The leaves are tipped with a very hard light brown and lethal spine. It offsets by above ground branches which terminate in new plantlets which are carried above the ground on stilt-like roots. It appears to be walking hence the common name of "Walking Sansevieria".
In Indonesia people name this Sansevieria plant as sansivera penguin or sansivera Pinguinculata.
