Dracaena subspicata

A soft-leaved sansevieria from lowland Mozambique, formerly Sansevieria subspicata. It forms rosettes of broad, flat, glossy leaves rather than stiff cylinders, and grows at low elevation where summers are hot and wet and winters are mild and drier. Published detail is thin; this profile relies on the measured climate and on related coastal sansevierias.

Where it grows wild

No detailed habitat description was found. The two recorded sites are near sea level in southern and central Mozambique, where coastal sansevierias typically grow in the shade of dry forest and thicket on sandy soil.

Both climate sites are between 1 and 52 m elevation.
