Arthropodium strictum (chocolate lily) is a species of herbaceous perennial plants native to the Southern Hemisphere. It takes its common name from the fact that its smell resembles the smell of chocolate. It should not be confused with Fritillaria biflora, which is also called "chocolate lily" but which resembles the color of chocolate rather than the scent.
