Lordsburg noino is a small bulbous desert perennial from southwestern New Mexico, growing from a corm and reaching under 9 cm tall. It needs full sun, very well-drained soil and dry conditions, and is rarely grown outside its native habitat.
Muilla lordsburgana is a species of flowering plant known by the common name Lordsburg noino. It is native to the eastern fringe of the Chihuahuan Desert of southwestern New Mexico, where it is found in scrub habitats atop Lordsburg Mesa. It is a perennial growing from a corm and reaching no more than 9 centimeters in height. The flowering stem bears an umbel-shaped array of up to 6, but usually fewer, flowers on pedicels up to 2 centimeters long.

The filaments are partially fused into an erect, cylindrical "crown".
