Asphodelus macrocarpus is a perennial plant in the Asphodelus genus, known for its large fruits which give it its Latin name. It grows to be 60-150 centimeters tall and has an erect stem supported by thick roots. The leaves are basal, covered in a greyish waxy coating, and can reach up to 100 centimeters in length. The flowers are white and funnel-shaped, with six elongated petals and yellow-orange stamens. This plant is found in the Alps and Apennines, typically in meadows and mountain pastures at altitudes of 300-1,800 meters. Its flowering period is from late April to June and it produces egg-shaped yellow-green seed capsules.
