'''''Sansevieria trifasciata''''' is a species of ''[[Sansevieria]]'', native to tropical west [[Africa]] from [[Nigeria]] east to the [[Democratic Republic of the Congo]]. It is commonly called the '''snake plant''', because of the shape of its [[leaf|leaves]], or '''mother-in-law's tongue''' because of their sharpness.

It is commonly called the '''snake plant''', because of the shape of its [[leaf|leaves]], or '''mother-in-law's tongue''' because of their sharpness.
−It is an [[evergreen]] [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]] forming dense stands, spreading by way of its creeping [[rhizome]], which is sometimes above ground, sometimes underground. Its stiff leaves grow vertically from a basal rosette. Mature leaves are dark green with light gray-green cross-banding and usually range between 70–90 [[centimetre|cm]] in length and 5–6 cm in width.
