Lilium pumilum, commonly known as Coral lily or Low lily, is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae, native to Siberia, Mongolia, northern China, and Korea. It bears from one to twenty reflexed and nodding flowers, usually red in colour. The flowers are scented. Pumilum is a commonly used Latin specific epithet in botanical nomenclature that translates to “dwarfish”. It is frequently used to distinguish a small species or variety from other, larger members within the same genus. In Taiwan, both the flower and bulbs are used as food.
