Asphodelus macrocarpus is a herbaceous perennial plant belonging to the genus Asphodelus of the Asphodelaceae family. The Latin name macrocarpus of this species derives from the Greek μακρός (meaning large) and καρπειον (meaning fruit), referred to the size of the fruits.
This plant is typical of most of the Alps and of the Apennines (Italy). This plant is commonly found in meadows, uncultivated fields and Mediterranean mountain pastures at an altitude of 300–1,800 metres (980–5,910 ft) above sea level.
