Sternbergia clusiana is a bulbous flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, subfamily Amaryllidoideae,[3] which is sometimes used as an ornamental plant. It has greenish-yellow flowers which appear in autumn.
Sternbergia clusiana is native to the East Aegean Islands, Iran, Iraq, Lebanon-Syria, the Palestine region and Turkey.[2] It grows in dry stony areas, including fields. The greenish-yellow flowers are produced in late autumn (October to November in their natural habitats). They are the largest flowers in the genus, with tepals of up to 7 cm (2.8 in) plus a slightly shorter tube. The grey-green leaves, which are 8–16 mm wide, appear after the flowers, in winter or early spring.[4]
