Ledebouria socialis, the silver squill, wood hyacinth, or leopard lily, is a geophytic species of bulbous perennial plant native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.[1] It was first described by John Gilbert Baker as Scilla socialis in 1870.[2] John Peter Jessop later revised the genus Scilla and split off several species, reclassifying Scilla socialis into the genus Ledebouria in 1970.[3] It is often cultivated and grows well with minimal care.[4]
