Devgad, MH, June 2025 :: Chlorophytum (?) for ID :: ARK2025-075

[Alka Khare]

Hello friends

This was clicked near Devgad in the Kokan area in Maharashtra in late May 2025. The monsoon was early this year.

Had also clicked it around mid-June in 2019. The monsoons were highly delayed that year.

Unfortunately have not seen its flowering in both the years. But I think, the leaves appear before the flowers.

A possible name could be Chlorophytum malabaricum (as per an unrelated FB post talking about this found aplenty on the 'kokni sada (कोकणी सडा) around the same time - https://www.facebook.com/profile/100070871664730/search/?q=chlorophytum)

Is it possible to ID?

Thanks and regards

One more

Both the times, I found this growing at exactly the same place.

I guess this is other than Chlorophytum sp.

Thank you.

OK Saroj ji

Can it be Pancratium parvum?

Thanks and regards

What do you say, Alka ji?

[Alka Khare]

For some reason, this was labelled Pancratium parvum in my records. I am not sure if this ID was provided by an expert on some other forum.

Will wait for a chance to be there next year around a time (after this vegetative state) to see the flowers.

Or perhaps some expert from the Konkan area who could help. Perhaps Aditya Dharap ji.

I think we should leave it unsolved for now, what with the lack of any discernible features to ID it correctly.
