Ledebouria minima is a species of bulbous flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to South Africa.[1]

Description

[edit]

The leaves of Ledebouria ovalifolia are small (shorter than the inflorescence), thin, linear in shape, and pointing upwards or spreading. They often have purple-coloured bands near the base of the leaf.

The flowers are stellate in shape, and are borne on a long inflorescence.[2]
