Chlorophytum occultum

A little-known Chlorophytum of the Guineo-Congolian region, listed for Gabon, DR Congo and Uganda and represented in GBIF by one Ugandan record. Its range suggests a warm, evenly moist forest or forest-edge herb rather than a dry-season geophyte.

Where it grows wild

A range spanning Gabon, Congo and western Uganda points to forest, gallery forest or forest edge, where Chlorophytum grow in shaded leaf litter. This is inferred; habitat is not documented.

The single modelled site is at about 1,075 m.
