Pancratium Sickenberg is a Saharo-Arabian plant species. It grows in deserts, such as the Negev. The flowers look like the Mediterranean species Pancratium maritimum, but the leaves of P. sickenbergeri are curly and the plant is much smaller. Unusually for the desert, the seeds are distributed by floodwaters when they occur in the winter.
Pancratium sickenbergeri is a bulbous plant found in Israel, Egypt and the Middle east.
