Lilium mackliniae

Lilium mackliniae, the Shirui lily (also spelled Siroi lily; locally Kashong Timrawon), is a bulbous perennial plant in the family Liliaceae. The species is endemic to a small area of Northeast India, where it occurs principally on the upper slopes of the Shirui Kashong peak in Ukhrul district, Manipur, with a smaller population in the adjacent Dzukou Valley on the Manipur–Nagaland border. It was described in 1949 by the British botanist J. Robert Sealy from material collected three years earlier by the plant hunter Frank Kingdon-Ward and his wife Jean Macklin, after whom the specific epithet was coined. The plant grows to about 30–90 cm (12–35 in) tall and produces between one and seven nodding, bell-shaped flowers that are pale pink to ivory inside and tinted purplish on the outside. It is restricted to a high-altitude band of montane meadow and dwarf-bamboo grassland between roughly 1,730 and 2,590 m (5,680 and 8,500 ft), where it flowers from May to June at the start of the monsoon......read more on Wikipedia.
