Fritillaria orientalis is a Eurasian species of monocotyledonous plant in the lily family Liliaceae.[2] It was described by Johann Friedrich Adam in 1805, based on specimens collected in Ossetia.[3]
This bulbous perennial flourishes on grass and brush in limestone valleys. The flowers, appearing in April and May, are purple, borne singly or in twos or threes.[3][4][5]
The species grows in France, Italy, Greece, the Balkans, Austria, Moldova, Ukraine, southern Russia, Turkey, and the Caucasus.[6][7]
