Excellent photographs Gurcharanji. It is Lilium polyphyllum D. Don, a medicinal
plant of Astavarga group. Known as 'Ksheer Kakoli' in Ayurvedic literature,
this plant has been assessed as 'Critically Endangered' with very few and
scattered wild populations left in north-west Himalayas. Nice to note that some
plants of this species are being maintained in nursery.
