    Taxon info

    Gagea rigida, previously known as G. fibrosa, is a rather distinct species in an otherwise taxonomically difficult genus. It occurs in E Peloponnisos and the S Aegean area and is probably widespread in Anatolia. The bulb is more or less covered by coarse fibrous roots, and the flowers are unusually large with very acute perianth segments.A
