クロユリ 黒百合
A species of [[flower]]ing plant of the genus [i]Fritillaria[/i] in the family [i]Liliaceae[/i], native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America. Common names include [b]Black lily[/b], [b]Chocolate lily[/b], [b]Kamchatka lily[/b], and [b]Rice lily[/b].

Kamchatka lilies bear nodding, bell-shaped flowers that somewhat resemble tulips. The flowers are six-petaled and colored in shades of purple, reddish brown, or black, occasionally spotted or streaked. One of the distinctive features of the Kamchatka lily is its green pistil, which is divided into three sections, each with a relatively long tip. This feature helps to distinguish Kamchatka lilies from [[lily (flower)|true lilies]] and [[tulip]]s. The leaves are lance-shaped.

Note that its Japanese name, クロユリ (黒百合 [i]kuro-yuri[/i], lit. black lily), can be used for both fritillarias and black colored [[lily (flower)|lilies]] (genus Lilium). Pay attention to the flower details.
