Identification
Ledebouria socialis · Silver Squill
The pot contains a mass of fleshy, lance-shaped leaves with distinct dark green to purple-grey mottling/camouflage patterning on the upper surface, and the leaf undersides and bulb bases show purple pigmentation - both classic traits of Ledebouria socialis. The bulbous base habit and clumping rosette growth form, with leaves emerging in a dense cluster from a shallow pot, is also consistent with this species. Many leaves and some stems appear desiccated/dying, which is common in stressed or dormant Ledebouria specimens and doesn't rule out the ID - the characteristic blotchy pattern is still visible on the healthier leaves. Similar-looking alternatives to rule out would include other mottled-leaf Scilla/Drimiopsis relatives, but the specific silvery-green camouflage pattern with purple undertones is quite distinctive to L. socialis. A closer photo of a single leaf (especially the underside color) or any flower spikes would help confirm with certainty.
