Fritillaria gibbosa is an Asian species of herbaceous perennials in the lily family, native to Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, and South Caucasus.[1][2]

Fritillaria gibbosa is up to 30 cm tall. Flowers are rotate (wide open and nearly flat) rather than bell-shaped as in most of the species in the genus, pink with darker spots.[3]
