Gagea lutea, known as the yellow star-of-Bethlehem, is a Eurasian flowering plant species in the family Liliaceae. It is widespread in central Europe with scattered populations in Great Britain, Spain, and Norway to Siberia and Japan.[3][2]
Gagea lutea is a bulb-forming herbaceous perennial with lanceolate leaves and green-tinged yellow flowers with 6 tepals.[4][5][6] It is a predominantly lowland species that inhabits moist, base-rich, shady habitats including; broad-leaf woodlands, hedgerows, limestone pavements, pastures, and riverbanks.[7] It has been used as an indicator of ancient woodland in East Anglia.[8]
