Dracaena masoniana · Whale Fin Sansevieria (Mason's Dracaena)

The plant shows the characteristic broad, paddle-shaped, mottled green leaves with wavy margins and a reddish-brown leaf edge, emerging singly from the soil in a candelabra-like cluster — a classic growth habit for Dracaena (formerly Sansevieria) masoniana, commonly called 'Whale Fin'. The dark green mottling/cross-banding pattern on a lighter green background and the thick succulent leaf texture are consistent with this species. Similar species to rule out include Dracaena trifasciata (common snake plant) which has narrower, more upright leaves, and other broad-leaved Dracaena/Sansevieria cultivars like 'Victoria' which can look similar but often have different variegation patterns. A clearer photo of a mature full-width leaf and any flower spikes would help confirm the identification with certainty.
