Ornithogalum lebaense is a bulbous species from southwest Angola, found only on steep cliffs in the Serra de Chela escarpment near Leba Pass. It is a cliff-dwelling plant with semi-succulent leaves and pendent white flowers, and it is rarely grown outside its native range.
Ornithogalum lebaense is a flowering plant that grows in southwest Angola. It was discovered in January 2009 by Ernst Jacobus van Jaarsveld. The word "lebaense" refers to Leba Pass, where the plant lives. O. lebaense does not have a known common name, most likely because its habitat is not one that is easily accessible by local people. There are three other Ornithogalum species identified in Angola: Ornithogalum tenuifolium, O. pulchrum and O. benguellens.
Ornithogalum lebaense is an obligatory cremnophyte that grows on steep cliffs in the Serra de Chela escarpment, an Angolan mountain range. O. lebaense grows 1800 meters above sea level in Leba Pass.
