Chlorophytum parvulum

A small Chlorophytum from the arid northeast of Somalia, known from two records at about 500 m. It grows in hot, very dry bushland and probably appears only after the brief rains, so treat it as a dry-growing geophyte with a long, warm dormancy.

Where it grows wild

The records are in semi-desert bushland of the Bari region, on stony or sandy ground. As the name suggests, it is likely a small plant sheltering among rocks or shrubs.

The two sites are at about 500 to 530 m.
