Kamchatka Fritillary, Kamchatka Lily, Black Lily or Black Sarana, Fritillaria camschatcensis, Liliaceae. A bulbous perennial, 20-40cm tall, with whorls of shiny green linear-lanceolate leaves around the stem. Clusters of slightly nodding bell-shaped blooms, are a dramatic dark purple-black with contrasting yellow anthers, usually 3 per stem, in late spring early summer. It has many common names, including Kamchatka fritillary and 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 native to northeastern Asia and northwestern North America, including northern Oregon, Washington, British Columbia, Alaska, northern Japan, and the Russian Far East
