Lilium bolanderi is a rare North American species of plants in the lily family, native to northwestern California and southwestern Oregon. It is a perennial herb growing a waxy, erect stem that approaches a meter in height, with wavy oval leaves in several whorls. The inflorescence bears up to 9 large, nodding lily flowers, which are bell-shaped with 6 red tepals up to 5 centimeters long and marked with yellow, purple, or darker reds. It is pollinated by Allen's and rufous hummingbirds. The lily was named after the California botanist Henry Nicholas Bolander.
