Fritillaria lusitanica is a species of plant in the lily family Liliaceae, endemic to the Iberian Peninsula.[2]
It is a bulb-forming herbaceous perennial. The flowers are nodding (hanging), purple, sometimes with a green stripe along the central part of each tepal.[3]
Its populations occurs scattered and usually with small numbers of individuals in central and southwestern areas of the Peninsula.[1]
Several other names have been coined at the varietal and subspecific levels for taxa once thought to be parts of the species Fritillaria lusitanica but now considered better suited to other species.
