Dracaena bagamoyensis, synonym Sansevieria bagamoyensis, is a succulent plant native to Kenya and Tanzania.[1]

Description

Dracaena bagamoyensis grows long stems (over 60cm), with slender, flat, succulent leaves.

It very closely resembles the related Dracaena arborescens, which has wider, more pliable leaves. The leaves of D. bagamoyensis are narrower (under 16 mm) and more brittle.[2][3]
