Gagea chrysantha is a European species of plants in the lily family, found only in Sicily, Italy.[1] Similar populations from the eastern Mediterranean have long been referred to G. chrysantha but recent evidence suggests that this group is actually a complex of several species rather than a single species.[2]
Gagea chrysantha is a bulb-forming herb with yellow flowers.[3]
