About

Lilium polyphyllum is a species of lily endemic to montane environments in central Asia.

Where it grows

The species is found in the Himalayas at elevations of 1,800-3,700 m. L. polyphyllum is hardly present in China, but is restricted to the northern region of a few countries: Tibet, Nepal, Pakistan, and the Wanga Valley in the northwestern Himalaya Mountains. It is specifically found in the Hunza Valley of Pakistan, which borders four countries: Russia, Afghanistan, China, and India. In India, this species is limited to three states where there are few wild habitats and a narrow number of lilies: Jammu and Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, and Uttarakhand.
