Chlorophytum alpinum

A Chlorophytum that Kew's checklist places in Tasmania, but with no wild GBIF records the profile rests on a single climate point in central Tasmania. Expect a cool-temperate perennial herb that needs cool summers and a chilly, wet winter, very different from the tropical members of the genus.

Where it grows wild

Not documented in available data; the epithet suggests high-country grassland or herbfield, and conditions are inferred from the cool, wet Tasmanian climate.

No record elevations; the climate site was placed at about 600 m, while the epithet hints at higher ground.
