Ledebouria socialis, the silver squill, wood hyacinth, or leopard lily, is a geophytic species of bulbous perennial plant native to the Eastern Cape Province of South Africa.[1] It was first described by John Gilbert Baker as Scilla socialis in 1870.[2] John Peter Jessop later revised the genus Scilla and split off several species, reclassifying Scilla socialis into the genus Ledebouria in 1970.[3] It is often cultivated and grows well with minimal care.[4]

Ledebouria is named for Carl Friedrich von Ledebour (1785–1851),[5] a botanist who published, among other things, the first complete Russian flora.[6]

Socialis means 'grows in pure stands', 'dominant', or 'growing in colonies'.[5]
