Dracaena angolensis, synonym Sansevieria cylindrica,[1] commonly known as the spear sansevieria,[2] is a succulent plant native to Angola. Formerly in the genus Sansevieria, it is now included in Dracaena.

Description

Dracaena angolensis has striped, elongate, smooth, greenish-gray subcylindrical leaves. They are up to Шаблон:Convert diameter and grow up to Шаблон:Convert above soil.[3] The spear sansevieria grows fan-shaped, with its stiff leaves growing from a basal rosette.

The species is interesting in having subcylindrical instead of strap-shaped leaves caused by a failure to express genes which would cause the cylindrical bud to differentiate dorsoventrally or produce a distinctive and familiar top and bottom surface to the leaf blade.[3][4] The Шаблон:Convert greenish-white tubular flowers are tinged with pink.[4]

Cultivation

The species is drought-tolerant and in cultivation requires water only about once every other week during the growing season.[4] The species can be watered once a month during the winter months. The species was described by Wenceslas Bojer in 1837. Dracaena angolensis (under the synonym Sansevieria cylindrica) received its common name from a competition in a Dutch national newspaper.[3] It is popular as an ornamental plant[3] as it is easy to culture and take care of in a home if given bright sunlight and other required resources.[4] In Brazil, where it is known as lança de São Jorge ("St. George's spear"), it is grown outside houses to ward off evil that might harm the home.[5] The plant plays an important part in the Afro-Brazilian syncretic religion Umbanda,[5] representing the orisha Ogum,[6] as Ogum is syncretized with St. George.
