Ledebouria


Ledebouria is a genus of African bulbous perennial herbs in the Asparagus family, Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. Most members were previously part of the genus Scilla. A number of species are grown by cacti and succulent enthusiasts for their patterned leaves.
Most of the species are native to Madagascar and Africa, but a few are from India, Sri Lanka or the Arabian Peninsula.
The genus name of Ledebouria is in honour of Carl Friedrich von Ledebour, a German-Estonian botanist.
It was first described and published in Nov. Pl. Sp. on page 194 in 1821.
