Shubhada--

 This is a new plant for me. I am only familiar with C. comosum, the common 
"spider plant" from South Africa.

 Very nice. Thanks for posting.

Regards--
Ken.

Subject: [efloraofindia:37816] Chlorophytum tuberosum - second wild flower of  
the season


Hi friends,
I saw second wild flower of the season in the forest at CEC, Goregaon, 
Mumbai today. 

Bot. name : Chlorophytum tuberosum
local name :Kuli 
Hindi: Safed Musli
famiily Liliaceae 
One can see these flowers immediately after the first few showers. The leaves 
are cooked and eaten. This herb is also called 
edible chlorophytum. Leaves are radical and membranous.

Etymology: 
 
Chloros =
green and Phyton is a plant. 

Roots are 
tuberous, hence tuberosum

cheers,
shubhada
