Chlorophytum brachystachyum

A widespread Chlorophytum of the tropical African savanna belt, most often recorded in the miombo woodland of Zambia, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. It grows through a hot, very wet summer and rests through a long, dry winter, so it does best with a bright summer and a dry, cooler winter rest.
