Description

The channelled, narrow leaves of Chlorophytum saundersiae grow tufted from the base at ground level. The leaves are erect, curving out, nearly flat and green, about 50 cm long and 1 cm wide.

The inflorescence is a crowded, long and narrow raceme or panicle at a stem-tip, often producing more than one flower per node. The white flower on a jointed pedicel has six spreading to somewhat reflexed, pointed tepals. Each flower lasts for about a day.

The large, oblong, yellow anthers cluster over the flower centre. The white style from their midst is longer, the ovary from which it emerges superior.

The fruit is a three-sectioned capsule, the seeds thin and black (Pooley, 1998; iNaturalist).
