Chlorophytum krookianum
A large, clump-forming Chlorophytum with fleshy roots from the summer-rainfall east of southern Africa, mainly KwaZulu-Natal, Mpumalanga and Eswatini.
Where it grows wild
Recorded from moist grassland, damp slopes and forest or bush margins in the eastern escarpment and coastal hinterland. Like other large eastern Chlorophytum species, it is most likely in damp, partly sheltered spots rather than dry, open veld; this is inferred from the genus and the record pattern, not from a species account.
Only 3 records carry an elevation (464–700 m), but the record points stretch from the coast up into the KwaZulu-Natal midlands and the Mpumalanga escarpment, so the real range is probably near sea level to about 1,500 m.
