Family Asparagaceae Juss. View in CoL View at ENA

Sansevieria View in CoL currently encompasses three subgenera, i.e., subgen. Capitulatus Mbugua ex L.E.Newton & R.H.Webb (14 spp.), subgen. Paniculatus Mbugua ex L.E.Newton & R.H.Webb (13 spp.), and subgen. Sansevieria View in CoL (75 spp.). The classification is based on inflorescence architecture. However, molecular-based phylogenies ( Takawira-Nyenya et al. 2018; van Kleinwee et al. 2022) do not fully support this taxonomic concept based on morphology.
