    Looks like Sansevieria trifasciata, Snake Plant.

    I'd have called it Mother In Law's Tongue. Is there something similar by that name?

    Junglekeeper nailed it. There's a number of Sansevieria species and cultivated varieties. You at have one with really interesting leaves, and it's looking robustly healthy. In Florida, outdoor specimens tend to look ratty, and it's an invasive species.
