Acis valentina

Quick Characteristics:

Acis valentina (Pau) Lledó, A.P.Davis & M.B.Crespo, syn. Leucojum valentinum Pau, is from eastern Spain where it grows in sunny rocky places. It is considered endangered in the wild as the populations are decreasing with development. It is a fall blooming species that bears white flowers with sharp points on the outer segments. It is also different from Acis autumnalis in another way by having a six-lobed disc at the base of the ovary. Photos 1 and 2 from John Lonsdale.
