Asphodeline lutea (king's spear, yellow asphodel) is a perennial plant native to southeastern Europe, northern Africa, the Caucasus and the Levant. It is grown as a landscaping plant.
It has been associated with the Asphodel of the Ancient Greek underworld, but so has the closely related Asphodelus ramosus.
