Puschkinia peshmenii is a bulbous perennial from Turkey and Iran, producing flowers in shades of green in spring.

Individual flowers are borne on short pedicels (stalks), up to 7 mm (0.3 in) long and are turned downwards.

[1] P. peshmenii has been found in extreme south-eastern Turkey, in the provinces of Van and Hakkâri, where it grows on rocky hillsides, often near late melting patches of snow, at around 1,800 m (5,900 ft), flowering in May.

The specific epithet peshmenii commemorates the Turkish botanist Hasan Peşmen (1939–1980), who discovered the species in 1974, and was later killed in a road accident.

[1] The species is rare in cultivation, but has been grown since the mid-1970s in a bulb frame in the south of England, where it has persisted but increased only very slowly.
