Large population of Sansevieria fischeri on Mount Maco in northern Mozambique. Here with Obet Jos Baptista. Rhizomes are used to treat a lethal traditional (?) disease characterised by gradual weight loss and the appearance of diverse symptoms like skin diseases and persistant cough. The disease can be transmitted from mother to baby.
The inflorescence of Sansevieria fischeri is easily to be distinguished from that of S. stuckyi, with its much shorter peduncle. Plant from Ancuabe district, Mozambique.
