Chlorophytum angustissimum

A very narrow-leaved East African Chlorophytum recorded from Burundi and Tanzania at 550–1800 m, in a climate with a long wet season and a dry spell from June to September. Little is published beyond the description, so treat it like other grassland Chlorophytum: a tuberous-rooted herb that grows hard in warm, wet months and slows or dies back when it is dry.

Where it grows wild

Probably open grassland and miombo-type woodland, where most East African Chlorophytum grow; habitat is inferred from the genus and the recorded sites, not from species-specific notes.

Recorded at 550–1800 m, median about 1100 m, so warm days with mild nights.
