Drimiopsis

Family Liliaceae. Native to tropical Africa (Zanzibar). In the wild there are several dozen deciduous and evergreen species. In houseplant cultivation only two species have become widespread.

Spotted Drimiopsis - Drimiopsis maculata - a small deciduous clump-forming plant with elongated bulbs, cordate-ovate leaves narrowed at the tip, olive-green in color with dark bright spots and dots. Leaves up to 15 cm long with a slightly wavy margin, on long petioles about 20 cm long. Inflorescences racemose with small flowers white, gray or cream in color with a light sweet fragrance. Dormancy period in winter. A characteristic feature of the plant is the change in leaf coloration: dark spots usually appear in early spring and summer, and from autumn until the dormancy period they gradually disappear completely.
