Dichopogon strictus (Arthropodium strictum, chocolate lily) is a species of herbaceous perennial plants native to the Southern Hemisphere. It common name comes from the fact that its smell resembles the smell of chocolate. It should not be confused with Fritillaria biflora or the Kamchatka Fritillary (F. camschatcensis) — both are also called "chocolate lily", but due to their chocolate-brown flowers; they have a somewhat disagreeable scent.
