Prospero idaeum is an autumnal flowering plant of the family Asparagaceae, subfamily Scilloideae endemic to Crete, Greece. It is a diploid species in the Prospero autumnale cryptic species complex. This plant produces star-shaped pale pink blooms on slender stalks after its grass-like leaves emerge. Found only on Mount Ida in Crete at elevations around 1,400 metres, it was recognized as a distinct species in 2000 after careful study separated it from similar autumn squills.
