Ledebouria revoluta, the South Indian squill, is a flowering plant species in the genus Ledebouria found in Southern Africa and India.
In Africa some tribes consume the bulbs of L. revoluta. It is widely used as an ethnomedicinal in Southern Africa. Homoisoflavanones can be isolated from the bulbs of L. revoluta.[2]
