It's both - it is Sansevieria cylindrica, a relative of the much more common variegated form of Sansevieria trifasciata (often called Mother in Law's Tongue). It is a succulent plant which prefers bright daylight without direct sun, and around the same temperatures we humans like, so between 50 to 85deg F. It does grow quite quickly, and may need a larger pot annually, see here for further care instructions https://www.thespruce.com/grow-sansevieria-cylindrica-1902732

It's actually a Sensevieria hybrid called ‘Fernwood’ (S. parva x S. suffruticosa), developed by the late hybridizer Rogers Weld of Fernwood Nursery in California. It is easily confused, since it looks similar to S. cylindrica and even more similar to S. bacularis.
Larry Hodgson of Laidback Gardener writes an article that describes this hybrid and it's creator and how it is different from S. cylindra and S. bacularis
