Chlorophytum peralbum

An obscure Chlorophytum known from Angola, with no georeferenced wild records available. Angolan Chlorophytum of the central plateau are seasonal savanna and miombo-woodland herbs with fleshy roots that grow in the summer rains and rest through a long, completely dry winter. Treat it as a summer-growing geophyte that wants a dry, cooler rest.
