Ornithogalum adseptentrionesvergentulum is a species of flowering plant in the family Asparagaceae, native to the Cape Provinces of South Africa.[1] This monocot from the Great Karoo desert is one of the world's smallest bulb species, under 3 cm (1.2 in) tall, and yet it has the longest valid plant name. The specific epithet means "inclined towards the north".[2][3]
