Diagnostic description

Ornithogalum maculatum is one of the most striking species in section Aspasia, readily recognized by its glaucous leaves lacking any marginal vestiture, orange or yellow flowers, usually with some dark marking at the tips of the outer tepals, and subulate or lanceolate filaments. Forms with pure yellow or orange flowers may be confused with O. rupestre but that species has narrow, subterete leaves. The minute seeds and orange flowers might lead to confusion with forms of O. dubium, but O. maculatum lacks the dark tunics and ciliate leaves that are characteristic of that species.

Habitat

Typically restricted to rock outcrops, typically in shallow humus on granite or sandstone pavements, but also outcroppings of shale. From: Manning, JC; Martinez-Azorin, M; Crespo, MB. 2007.
