Afr. and east to China and Japan, allied to Ornithogalum, mostly hardy and sometimes grown in the open. Fls. white, yellow or rose, few on the top of the mostly low peduncle or scape: lvs. radical, mostly only 1, and sometimes on the st. and represented by bracts under the umbel: perianth persistent, with distinct seems.; stamens 6; ovary sessile or short-stipitate, 3-loculed: bulbs small. The gageas require the cult, of ornithogalums. They appear not to be in the American trade.

Eu. to Himalayas. B.M. 1200. G. bracteolaris, Salisb. (G. stenopetola, Reichb.), is pale yellow: lf. 1 at base, linear-lanceolate and glaucous; st.- lvs. opposite, lanceolate, pubescent and fringed.
