Drimia elata ("Satin squill") is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae,[2] subfamily Scilloideae.

[2] Drimia elata is a perennial, growing from a bulb with reddish scales, and reaching a maximum height of 100 cm.

It is borne on a scape up to 1.2 m (4 ft) tall, and takes the form of a thin, dense, terminal raceme.

The flowers are pedicellate, subtended by a bract with a small and distinctive spur near its base.

[4][5] Drimia elata was described by Nikolaus Joseph von Jacquin in a work published in 1797.
