Gagea minima, known as the least gagea, is a Eurasian species of plants in the lily family.^[3]^[4]^[5]^[6]^[7]^[8]^[9]

Its native range is quite large, as it is found in much of south-central, southeastern, central and northern Europe (Italy, Germany, Scandinavia, and from there eastwards into European Russia), with additional populations in the Caucasus region.^[3]^[1]^[10]

Gagea minima is a bulb-forming perennial up to 20 cm tall. Flowers are bright lemon yellow, sometimes green on the underside of the tepals.^[10]
