Ornithogalum is a family of plants that is part of the Hyacinthaceae family. It contains about 120 species of permanent herbs that come from Africa, Europe and Western Asia. Almost all plants in this family are equipped with star -shaped flowers and lance -shaped leaves. Landscapes use these plants in flower beds, boundaries and as a ground cover. They are relatively easy to maintain and are customized to different types of soil. The name refers to white flowers of plants. Several species have common names that reflect the appearance of flowers as stars. For example, Ornithogalum Balansae is called the dwarf star of Bethlehem and Ornithogalum Narbonons is called the South Bethlehem Star.

Most of them have fleshy green leaves that are long and pointed and generally change color in the fall before the fall. Flower stems are usually leafless.
