Lilium eupetes

Lilium eupetes is a recently discovered and described epiphytic species of lily from the north of Vietnam.[1][2]

Lilium eupetes reproduces by seed and vegetatively via the production of bulbils dispersed by wind. When the leaves die back they wither and curl into a circle. This eventually detaches from the stem, and acts as the functional equivalent of a samara, carrying the attached bulbil to a new site.[1]
