Chlorophytum baturense

A little-known Chlorophytum from eastern Cameroon, known from a single wild record near Batouri at about 600 m. Grow it like other tropical African Chlorophytum of the forest-savanna mosaic: warm, bright, with fleshy roots that want generous water in the long wet season and a short drier spell around December to February.

Where it grows wild

The only record sits in the forest-savanna transition of eastern Cameroon. Its exact microhabitat is not documented; by analogy with related species it is likely a terrestrial herb of grassy openings, gallery-forest edges or wooded savanna.

The single record is at about 600 m; no elevation range is published.
