Fritillaria camschatcensis is a species of fritillary native to northeastern Asia, including northern Japan, Kamchatka, and eastern Siberia, western North America from Alaska to Oregon . It has many common names, typically Kamchatka Fritillary or Kamchatka Lily . It is also called Rice Lily , Northern Rice-root , or (misleadingly) " Indian rice " or " wild rice " , because of the rice-like bulblets that form around its roots. It is also sometimes known as skunk lily , dirty diaper and outhouse lily because of the flower's horrible smell. Yet another vernacular name is "chocolate lily" because of its brown color, but that term is also applied to Fritillaria biflora (in California) or to the distantly related Arthropodium strictum whose flowers smell of chocolate.
