Asphodeline is a genus of primarily rhizomatous Mediterranean plants in the Asphodelaceae family.
Asphodeline lutea with its tall, yellow spikes in early spring is a classic element of Mediterranean flora. The inflorescences, harvested before bloom, are a delicious vegetable. Photos in habitat by Angelo Porcelli
