Gagea angrenica Levichev Tajikistan

Gagea is a large genus of spring owers in the lily

family.[2] It is found primarily in Eurasia with a few
species extending into North Africa and North America.[1][3][4][5][6][7]

Gagea anisopoda Popov Turkmenistan

Gagea artemczukii Krasnova Ukraine, Russia (incl
Crimea, North Caucasus)

The genus is named after the English naturalist Sir

Thomas Gage (1791-1820). They were originally described as species of Ornithogalum, which, together with
the usual yellow colour of the owers, explains the
English name yellow star-of-Bethlehem for the common European species, Gagea lutea.[8][1]
