Ledebouria is a genus of African bulbous perennial herbs in the Asparagus family, Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae.
[2] Most members were previously part of the genus Scilla.
A number of species are grown by cacti and succulent enthusiasts for their patterned leaves.
[3] Most of the species are native to Madagascar and Africa (except North Africa),[4] but a few are from India, Sri Lanka or the Arabian Peninsula.
[1] The genus name of Ledebouria is in honour of Carl Friedrich von Ledebour (1786–1851), a German-Estonian botanist.
