Lilium distichum is an Asian species herbaceous plant of the lily family which is native to northeastern China (Heilongjiang, Jilin, Liaoning), Korea, and eastern Russia (Primorye, Amur Krai, Khabarovsk). [1] [2]

Lilium distichum flourishes among shrubs and in forests. It grows from 2–4 ft (61–122 cm) tall. The stem is cylindrical and slender with a single whorl of leaves midway up the stem. It also has much smaller oval leaves sparsely, alternately on the upper stem. [2]

The flowers are yelloworange or orangevermillion with the petals spotted in purple, somewhat ‘flatfaced’ in appearance with irregular distribution of petals around the face of the flower forming a fanshape. The tips of the petals are reflexed. 210 flowers are carried on an inflorescence in July and August. [2] [3] [4] [5]

The name distichum refers to the two types of leaves the plant carries. [6]
