Calochortus pringlei is a bulbous plant of the lily family. It is sometimes known by the common name Pringle's cyclobothra and belongs to subsection Ghiesbreghtiani within section Cyclobothra in the genus Calochortus. It occurs in mountainous south-central Mexico.
Calochortus pringlei is intolerant of frost but grows well in mild climates. If grown in areas with frost in winter, its bulbs should be lifted in the fall, meaning they should be taken out of the ground and left to dry over the winter.
Calochortus pringlei occurs in the Mexican states Morelos and Puebla, as well as possibly Jalisco. It occurs in mountainous habitats at elevations of 2100–2400m. It experiences rain in the summer and cool, dry weather in the winter.
