Lilium pumilum, also known as Coral lily, Low lily or Lipstick lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae, native to grassy mountainous areas of Northeast Asia. Coral lily is edible and has a history of use as a food source, particularly in its native regions of northern China, Mongolia, and Siberia. While edible for humans, Lilium species are highly toxic to cats, causing kidney failure. In addition to food, the bulbs are traditionally used in East Asian cultures as medicine to treat coughs, insomnia, and as a nutritive tonic.
