Lilium polyphyllum ABJUN01/13

[Ashwini Bhatia]

I found these growing wild on slopes in Kullu. Is this Lilium polyphyllum?

Dear,
 
It sure is Lilium polyphyllum, a plant no more common in its habitat. Great capture Ashwini ji.... Did you make an estimate of the number of plants at the location?

Thank you Dr Goraya. Unfortunately not realising that it’s dwindling, I did not make a note of numbers but remember not seeing many.

Warm regards,

Ashwini

I found this again after two years and this time in Dharamshala. A lone plant was growing among Sarcococca saligna cluster and I would have missed the bud if a friend didn't point me to it. I immediately thought of the L. polyphyllum but was not certain. My friend and I visited the plant thrice on alternate days and finally found the flower open on a rain soaked dark day yesterday. The open flower confirms the ID. Dr Goraya had pointed out its rarity and I carefully searched the area nearby for more plants but couldn't find any. I am happy for one though and hope to find more in future.

Thanks.

Ashwini

Good find Ashwini ji. 

Can you forward your telephone contact. Now that I have re-joined the State Cadre after completing my deputation with ICFRE, Dehradun, I might visit Dharamshala in near future and would like to interact with you. Might be we plan a trek together to Taranda/ Kareri Lake!!!!
