Chlorophytum inconspicuum

A small, easily overlooked Chlorophytum of the Horn of Africa, Kenya and Yemen, recorded between about 270 and 1,400 m. Its sites are hot and seasonally dry with two rainy periods, so it is best grown as a warm, bright, fleshy-rooted perennial that is kept drier between flushes of growth. Species-specific information is scarce; this profile is built from the measured climate and the genus.
