Chlorophytum dianellifolium

A Malagasy Chlorophytum with leaves recalling Dianella, recorded across the south-central highlands from about 1,050 to 1,600 m, especially around Fianarantsoa and Ambalavao. It sees a wet, warm summer and a cool, drier winter, so it wants bright light, cool nights and lighter winter watering.
