Gagea is a large genus of spring flowers in the lily family. [2] It is found primarily in Eurasia with a few species extending into North Africa and one species ( Gagea serotina ) in North America. [1] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

Contents

The genus is named after the English naturalist Sir Thomas Gage (1781–1820). They were originally described as species of Ornithogalum , which, together with the usual yellow colour of the flowers, explains the English name yellow star-of-Bethlehem for the common European species, Gagea lutea . [8] [1]

Species

As of January 2014, the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families recognizes over 200 species, including those previously assigned to Lloydia. [9]
