Morphological remark The collection Andriantiana et al. 750 resembles typical Chlorophytum parkeri, but it was recorded much further south, in a dried-up marshy meadow, near an eroded granite inselberg, on the northern limit of the Horombe Plateau, at an altitude of 1000 m. Nevertheless, the habitat is similar to that occupied by typical C. parkeri on the highlands, and it is a poorly-known species with somewhat variable characteristics. Andriantiana et al. 750 is nevertheless distinguished from material of typical C. parkeri by the following characters: the upright habit of the leaves, its very short and contracted inflorescences, flowers with stamens in two cycles (instead of a single cycle), and its short style (ca half as long as the other specimens). However, only a single flower was available for examination, and the material as a whole is very poor, so we refrain from describing this collection as a distinct taxon. Further investigations in the field are needed.
