Sansevieria cylindrica, also known as the cylindrical snake plant, African spear or spear sansevieria, is a succulent plant native to Angola.
Sansevieria cylindrica has striped, elongate, smooth, greenish-gray subcylindrical leaves. They are up to 1 in diameter and grow up to 7 ft above soil. The Spear Sansevieria grows fan-shaped, with its stiff leaves growing from a basal rosette.
The species is interesting in having subcylindical 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. The 1 in greenish-white tubular flowers are tinged with pink.
