Chlorophytum molle

An Angolan Chlorophytum known from only two wild records on the central plateau at 1,100-1,350 m. Its home has a hot wet season from October to April and a completely dry, cool-night winter, so it is best treated as a seasonal geophyte that rests dry from May to September.

Where it grows wild

The two sites are on the Angolan planalto, an area of miombo woodland and grassland; plants of the genus there typically grow among grasses and under scattered trees, dying back in the dry season.

Recorded sites at about 1,140 and 1,340 m.
