Gagea minima, known as the least gagea, is a Eurasian species of plants in the lily family. [2] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9]

Its native range is quite large, as it is found in much of south-central, southeastern, central and northern Europe (Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, and from there eastwards into European Russia), with additional populations in the Caucasus region. [2] [1] [10]

Gagea minima is a bulb-forming perennial up to 20 cm tall. Flowers are bright lemon yellow, sometimes green on the underside of the tepals. [10]
