Looks like one of the Sansevieria sps.

Are all the three picts from the same plant?!

The 2nd picture looks a little different from the other two's, with respect to the edges of the lamina...

Thank you Swetaji You have a very sharp observation. You are right the 2nd pic was a liitle away from the 1st and 3rd. To my untrained eyes both looked similar may be it is something different. Sorry to have caused the confusion. But it is due to ignorance

Thank you Pankajji. This name sounds good

Is the 2nd pic different plant as Swetaji pointed out

Bhagyashri...
all sensevarias flowered in calcutta in july...at the height of the
monsoon... esp if they were growing out in the open...
did your plant flower too, ene though it was in a tub?

Mother-in-law's tongue...
because sharp edges and many leaf blades.. just as mother in law has
many opinions...
but let the poor lady enjoy her opinions... she has lost her son to
the daughter in law!!!


and we will stick to science...

this is one of the many plants studied by NASA team to see if indoor
air can be purrified in the space station by plants...
sensevaria came out as an important detoxifier of indoor closed office
space air..
plant a few in your offices... (NOT FERNS THEY GIVE OUT THE SPORES
PERIODICALLY AND YOUR EYE PATIENTS WOULD SUFFER physically from
particles getting in their eyes and perhaps develop allergies to the
protien-carbohydrate/lectin coats on the spore ) ...

enjoy..

Another thing:
Bhagyashri: this is NOT a cactus... cacti are DICOTS, originating ONLY
in the Americas...

Sensevarias are MONOCOTS, originating in Africa.

Big difference...

NOT all that have thorns or are sharp or are succulent are cacti...

I know confusing if you are just coming back to Botany...
but slowly one begins to remember...
so take heart...
and enjoy the process.

1st and 3rd images should be of Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Futura Robusta’ and 2nd one should be Sansevieria trifasciata ‘Laurentii’ as per Leafyplace.
