Muscari gussonei is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae. [2] It is a bulbous geophyte native to southern Italy and Sicily. [1]

In 1992 it was designated as a 'priority species' under Annex II of the Habitats Directive in the European Union, which means areas in which it occurs can be declared Special Areas of Conservation, if these areas belong to one of the number of habitats listed in Annex I of the directive. [3]
