Chlorophytum clarae
A rarely recorded Chlorophytum from the high plateau country where Tanzania, Zambia and DR Congo meet, known from only nine wild records. It lives with a sharp wet-dry rhythm: cool, mild and very wet from November to April, then almost rainless from May to October, so in cultivation it should be grown hard in summer and kept dry and cool in winter.
Where it grows wild
The records cluster on the Ufipa plateau and the Zambian border highlands, country of montane grassland and miombo woodland. Species-specific habitat notes were not available; grassland or woodland-edge herb is inferred from the genus and region.
Few records carry an elevation; the climate sites sit at 1,650–2,020 m, so treat it as a cool highland plant.
