    Years ago, I got a plant from a friend, he called it a mother’s in laws tongue / snake plant – however, unlike all the variations I have been able to find, it had leaves that were about 8 or so inches across, they were green (solid), the plant was about 5 to 6 feet tall. I had to get rid of all my plants when I moved into residence at school – now I would like to get another one of these plants – but, can’t find it any place. I am looking for any information on it that I can find.

    Thanks.

    Could have been a Yucca?

    Thank-you for this link - i think the plant I had was Sansevieria trifasciata 'Moonshine'.
