Chlorophytum mamillatum

A recently described Ethiopian Chlorophytum, named in 2017, with no wild GBIF records yet. The single climate site is in the hot, seasonally dry lowlands around the Awash valley, with a short and a long rainy season. Treat it as a warm savanna geophyte that wants a dry winter rest; all guidance here is provisional.
