Lloydia

Lloydia Salisb. ex Rchb. was a bulbous genus in the Liliaceae family, consisting of some 12 species. All the species were found in the temperate northern hemisphere with one exception, Lloydia serotina, very widespread from the Arctic to the Alps and from Europe to Asia. They were all small, slender plants with bell-shaped flowers. The genus is named for 17th century Welsh botanist Edward Llwyd (or Lhuyd). In 2025 all recognised species of Lloydia are included in the genus Gagea. See M. Zarrei et al, Molecular systematics of Gagea and Lloydia (Liliaceae; Liliales).
