Sansevieria arborescens is a succulent plant native to Tanzania and the surrounding region in East Africa.

Description

Sansevieria arborescens grows long stems (over 60 cm), with thick, flat, succulent leaves.

It very closely resembles the related Sansevieria bagamoyensis. However, the leaves of S. arborescens are wider (over 25 mm) and less brittle.[1][2]
