Sansevieria is a succulent plant with about 70 species and sometimes included in the Dracaena family according to wikipedia. Common names of sanseveria include mother-in-law's tongue, devil's tongue, jinn's tongue, bow string hemp, snake plant and snake tongue. This is perhaps because of its shape like a long tongue or snake like long leaves and might also be because it’s a poisonous plant like mother in laws tongue.

Sansevieria trifasciata and its variant 'Laurentii' is the commonly grown ornamental plant in home gardens and indoors. This is a NASA recommended air purifying plant and purifies air by removing some toxins such as formaldehyde, xylene, and others and one more thing to remember is its leaves are poisonous on oral ingestion. So keep it away from your kids.
