Species
Tristagma uniflorum is a species of flowering plant in the lily family known by the common name spring star, or spring starflower. Its former name was Ipheion uniflorum, and it is still known by this scientific name to many authorities. It is native to Argentina and surrounding but it can be found elsewhere, such as much of the southern half of North America, as an introduced species, possibly an escaped ornamental plant. This is a perennial herb growing from a bulb and producing flat, shiny, green, hairless, grasslike leaves up to 30 centimeters long. The foliage has an onionlike scent when crushed. The stem grows up to 20 centimeters tall and bears a solitary showy flower. Each star-shaped flower has six pointed lobes up to 3 centimeters long in shades of very pale to deep purple-blue.
