A cultivar of Ledebouria socialis (Baker) Jessop [Asparagaceae].


leopard lily

I think close to images at Ledebouria revoluta (L.f.) Jessop and as per details at Pacific Bulb society
Looks different from images at Ledebouria socialis (Baker) Jessop and as per details at https://www.pacificbulbsociety.org/pbswiki/index.php/Ledebouria_socialis

ledebouria socialis


I am a bit confused to decide. FOI one and two


I think images at FOI are correct. Pl. check colour of the stamen and shape, orientation etc. of the petals.

Leaf markings are quite variable as can be seen at

Confused. Different views.


I believe it must be Ledebouria socialis as … suggested. … has said that the plant is cultivated.

I am sure of my suggested id. This was given after following posts in efi site and at the reliable site links I have given.


OK, thanks …

Correct name is Ledebouria hyacinthina Roth
Surprised to see L. hyacinthina Roth [Illegitimate name], how it can be Illegitimate name???
L. revoluta is heterotypic synonym


This is one more example of blunders done by The plant list,,, Ledebouria revoluta is altogether distinct plant than Ledebouria hyacinthina..

Amazing close up of the individual flower. Nice variegated leaves. We have this species observed in Western ghats too. Sometimes the spots on the leaves are very small and less in number. The plants emerge with first monsoon showers or so…..

Place :- Kinhi, Parner, Ahmednagar, Maharashtra, India.
Date  :- 13 -6-2018

Orchidaceae ??

Possibly Drimia indica (Syn.: Scilla indica) of Asparagaceae.

seems to be Ledebouria sp, a south african species

Ledebouria socialis comes to mind
widely grown in nursery trade from bulbs makes a good houseplant
we have a page:
https://sites.google.com/site/efloraofindia/species/a—l/ar/asparagaceae/ledebouria/ledebouria-socialis
please tell us: was this wild? was it in a garden or nursery??? etc etc 

Thanks, … for initial id.
I think close to images at Ledebouria revoluta (L.f.) Jessop and as per details at Pacific Bulb society
Looks different from images at Ledebouria socialis (Baker) Jessop and as per details at Pacific Bulb Society 2

Wild Plant for ID : Nasik : 30JUN19 : AK-4 : 9 posts by 4 authors. Attachments (3)
Again seen on the mountain slopes in Nasik on the 25th of June.
Could be Ledebouria revulota, South Indian Squill?

Sorry for the typo error. Correct name should be Ledebouria revoluta, common name South Indian Squill.


Other recipients:

Any idea about this ground orchid looking plant?: 3 images.

Place: Forsyth Lodge, Satpura, M.P.
Date: June’21 last week.
Description: From last year we were able to see this plant. Emerging from ground around mid June and flowering happen for couple of days and disappeared for the season.
P.C- Deepankar Mukherji

Ladebouria revoluta, Asparagaceae member only, not Orchid,


Not orchid. Ledebouria revoluta (L.f.) Jessop  !


Interesting part is that, it’s emerging from different places every year in our lodge. But in the same pathway.

    Looking at the various pictures displayed none of them resemble the many forms of Ledebouria revoluta as it exist in South Africa. Given the time it would take for the plant to get from SA to India relying on only rain(includes flooding) seems well neigh impossible. India separated well before monocots would have had time to evolve.
