Yes.
If you go by the Latin name Sansevieria ehrenbergii, there will never be any confusion on what plant you are looking for.

Hi Alicia,
Yes, they are different common or nicknames for the same plant, Sansevieria trifasciata. This highlights the confusion caused by the use of common names for plants. In some cases, the same common name is used to refer to very different plant species. It's not as much fun, but using botanical names does eliminate a lot of the confusion.
