Ledebouria is a genus of African bulbous perennial herbs in the Asparagus family, Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae. Most members were previously part of the genus Scilla. A number of species are grown by cacti and succulent enthusiasts for their patterned leaves. Most of the species are native to Madagascar and Africa (except North Africa), but a few are from India, Sri Lanka or the Arabian Peninsula. The genus name of Ledebouria is in honour of Carl Friedrich von Ledebour (1786-1851), a German-Estonian botanist.It was first described and published in Nov. Pl. Sp. on page 194 in 1821.
