Gagea ramulosa is a Eurasian and North African plant species in the lily family. It is native to France, Sardinia, Sicily, Greece, Turkey, Libya, Ukraine, European Russia, Caucasus, Syria, Lebanon, Iraq, Iran, and Afghanistan.[1][2] Some authors consider this to be the same species as G. dubia,[3][4] but the World Checklist[1] does have it listed as a distinct species.

Gagea ramulosa is a bulb-forming perennial herb. Flowers are yellow.[5][6]
