Ledebouria socialis, the silver squill or wood hyacinth, is a geophytic species of bulbous perennial plant native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa . It was first described by John Gilbert Baker as Scilla socialis in 1870.[1] John Peter Jessop later revised the genus Scilla and split off several species, reclassifying Scilla socialis into the genus Ledebouria in 1970.[2] It is often cultivated and grows well with minimal care.[3]
Etymology
Ledebouria is named for Carl Friedrich von Ledebour (1785–1851),[4] a botanist who published, among other things, the first complete Russia n flora.[5]
Socialis means 'grows in pure stands', 'dominant', or 'growing in colonies'.[4]
