Chlorophytum longissimum

A rarely recorded Chlorophytum from the far south of Peninsular Thailand, described by Ridley from the Malay border region. It lives in an ever-wet, warm lowland climate with no real dry season, so it wants steady warmth, moisture and shade rather than a rest. Almost nothing is published on it beyond the original description.

Where it grows wild

Likely a herb of shaded lowland forest floor or forest edges, as is usual for Malesian Chlorophytum. This is generalised from the genus in the region, not from field notes on this species.

Few records carry an elevation. The single climate site is near sea level at about 17 m.
