Prospero battagliae
Prospero battagliae is an flowering plant of the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae endemic to Crete, Greece. This autumn-flowering plant produces nodding pale violet blooms on slender stems after its grass-like leaves emerge. First collected in 1981 from Mesa Lasithi in Crete at an elevation of about 860 metres, it was formally recognized as a distinct species in 2000 and is characterized for its distinctive wine-red leaf bases and rose-tinted bulb flesh.
