Lilium nepalense is a native of the southern slopes of the Himalaya, from Bhutan through Nepal to Uttaranchal. It grows up to about 1 m high, usually less. The bulbs are stoloniferous, and for newly planted bulbs, the shoot will often come up some distance from the planting spot. Flowers are few, often solitary, pendant, coloured pale green with a purple throat, and scented.
