Gagea minima
species of plant
Gagea minima, known as the least gagea, is a Eurasian species of plants in the lily family.
Its native range is quite large, as it is found in much of south-central, southeastern, central and northern Europe (Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, and from there eastwards into European Russia), with additional populations in the Caucasus region.
Gagea minima is a bulb-forming perennial up to 20 cm (7.9 in) tall. Flowers are bright lemon yellow, sometimes green on the underside of the tepals.
“Gagea minima” enters the record as species of plant. Crown Archives preserves that source wording while asking what Gagea, minima and species can confirm, complicate or overturn.
Why this record matters
“Gagea minima” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Gagea, minima and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 28, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q159444. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
A general summary may omit uncertainty, sample limits or methodological disagreement that is explicit in the technical record. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
