Fritillaria acmopetala (pointed-petal fritillary[2]) is a species of flowering plant in the family Liliaceae, native to rocky mountain slopes in Cyprus, southern Turkey (Lycia to Cilicia) and the (Nur daglari of the Hattay-district, Lebanon, Israel and Palestine.[3][4] In Cyprus, it grew in grainfields and under olive trees in the Girne-district[5]. It was first described by Pierre Edmond Boissier in 1846. Synonyms are Fritillaria lycia Boiss. & Heldr. [6] and Fritillaria reygassii Boiss. & Blanche ex Boiss. [7].[8].

Description

Fritillaria acmopetala is a bulbous perennial with an erect stem reaching heights of 30–70 cm (12–28 in). The long, straight, very narrow leaves grow in whorls about the lower stem and in pairs near the top. The stem has one or more nodding flowers at each node. The flower has six tepals each 3 cm long. They are yellowish-green alternating with purplish brown from the exterior and yellow from the inside.[9][10]

Cultivation

This plant has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.[2] It is susceptible to predation by the red lily beetle (Lilioceris lilii) and can suffer from lily disease caused by the plant pathogenic fungus Botrytis elliptica.[2]
