Chlorophytum (name means, in Greek, green plant). Liliaceae. Rhizomatous herbaceous plants, one of which is familiar in greenhouses. Very like Anthericum, but differing in the thickened filaments of the stamens and the 3-angled or 3-winged caps.: infl. often denser: lvs. broader, often oblanceolate and petiolate: seed disk-like. — Some 60 or more species, in warm parts of Asia, Afr., and Amer. Consult Anthericum and Paradisea. Three species that recently have been mentioned in horticultural literature are: C. amaniense, Engler, from German E. Afr.; 10 in.: lvs. lanceolate-acuminate, 16 in. long and 3½ in. or less broad, somewhat fleshy, bronze, with white margin: fls. Greenish white, in cluster 6 in. long. — C. comosum, Wood (Natal Plants, fig. 279), from Lake Albert, Cent. Afr.; proliferous: lvs. radical, linear, deep green, 2 ft. long: fls. small, white, soon fading, usually in 4's, in a branched cluster 3 ft. long. — C. Huyghei, DeWild, Congo; lvs. in a basal tuft, lanceolate, petioled, about 18-20 in. long, 2-2½in. broad: fls. greenish white, about ¼in. long, in a bractcd raceme 2-3 ft. long. L .H.
