Eremurus spectabilis, is a species of flowering plant in the family Asphodelaceae. It is widely distributed from the eastern Mediterranean to the Caucasus.[1]

Eremurus spectabilis is a perennial, herbaceous plant in the genus Eremurus. In March and April, fresh leaves are consumed as a vegetable when they come out of the soil as buds.[2][3]

Taxonomy

The species was first described in 1819 as Eremurus spectabilis by Friedrich August Marschall von Bieberstein.[4] In 1830, Carl Friedrich von Ledebour used the same name for a different species. His illegitimate name is now treated as a synonym of Eremurus altaicus.[5]
