Affinitas. A Gagea bowes-lyonii Levichev magnitudine, a Gagea kunawurensis (Royle) Greuter magnitudine et perianthii phyllis flavis, a Gagea ova Stapf et Gagea rubinae Ali area insertionis bulbillorum vegetativorum inferiore.
Plantae graciles, tenues, 17-23 cm alt., solitariae vel in paucos greges congestae. Bulbus 5-7 mm in diam., oblique guttiformis, tunicis brunneis tenuiter coriaceis fissis, in collum (1.5 cm lg.) productis tectus, sine radicibus sclerificatis. Bulbilli gregarii, brunnescenti-fusci, semiguttiformi-angulati, minutissime alveolati, inferiore affixi, quorum basalis fere non prominens, cum pedunculo concrescens. Pedunculus 11-13 cm alt., ca 1.5 mm in diam. Folium radicale soitarium, lineare, ca 1 mm in diam., inflorescentiam superans. Folia pedunculo alterna, quorum infimus anguste lanceolato-lineare, in cuspidem longam cylindricam attenuatum, inflorescentiae dimidium non attingens, 1.5–2 mm lt. Inflorescentia paniculata, 4-6-flora, pedicellis tenuibus flexibilibus. Perianthii phylla 7-8 mm lg., ad 1.5 mm lt., lanceolata, basi angustata, acutiuscula, intus aurea, extus virescentia. Antherae flavae, oblongae, dehiscentes subglobosae, 0.5 mm in diam. Ovarium obovoideum, basi angustatum. Capsula ignota.
Differs from Gagea bowes-lyonii Levichev in the larger sizes from Gagea kunawurensis (Royle) Greuter in the larger sizes and yellow tepals, from Gagea ova Stapf and Gagea rubinae Ali in the lower attachment of vegetative bulbils.
Plants single or in small groups, slender, thin, 17-23 cm in height. Bulb 5-7 mm in diameter, obliquely-dro p-shaped, covered by thin-coriaceous, cleaving up brown tunics, continued in a neck (1.5 cm long), without sclerified roots. Bulbils in group, brownish-brown, semi-dro p-faceted, very finely-cellular, with the lower attachment, basal bulbil almost does not stand out against the background of others, accreting with the peduncle. Peduncle 11-13 cm in height, c. 1.5 mm in diameter. Basal leaf single, linear, about 1 mm in diameter, exceeding the inflorescence. Leaves on peduncle alternate, lower lanceolate-linear, 1.5-2 mm broad, gradually narrowing into long cylindrical tip. Inflorescence paniculate, 4-6-flowered, pedicels thin, bending. Tepals 7-8 mm long, about 1.5 mm broad, lanceolate, narrowed to the base, hardly pointed, inside golden-yellow, outside greenish. Anthers yellow, oblong, dehiscence roundish, 0.5 mm in diameter. Ovary obovate, narrowed to the base. Capsule not known.
