Ledebouria is a genus of African bulbous perennial herbs in the Asparagus family, Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae.[2] Most members were previously part of the genus Scilla. A number of species are grown by cacti and succulent enthusiasts for their patterned leaves.[3]

Most of the species are native to Madagascar and Africa (except North Africa),[4] but a few are from India, Sri Lanka or the Arabian Peninsula.[1]

The genus name of Ledebouria is in honour of Carl Friedrich von Ledebour (1786–1851), a German-Estonian botanist.[5] It was first described and published in Nov. Pl. Sp. on page 194 in 1821.[4]
