Acis fabrei is a small bulbous perennial from south-east France, known only from a few sites near Mont Ventoux and the River Nesque, and it is a threatened species. It produces white flowers in late spring after its leaves, then goes dormant in early summer, so it needs a cool, dry summer rest.
Acis fabrei is a bulbous flowering plant in the family Amaryllidaceae, native to France. It has white flowers that appear in late spring after the leaves. Although first collected in 1882, it was not scientifically described until 1990. It is now known from only four populations in the Vaucluse department in south-east France, around Mont Ventoux and the River Nesque. It is considered to be a "threatened species".
As of 2007, Acis fabrei was only known from four populations in the Vaucluse department in south-east France, around Mont Ventoux and the River Nesque. All the populations are within 20 km (12 mi) of one another. Plants are found in eroded soils poor in organic matter, such as terra rossa, in rocky glades, grassy areas and under Quercus pubescens.
