Lilium formosanum, also known as the Formosa lily or Taiwanese lily (traditional Chinese: 台灣百合; simplified Chinese: 台湾百合; pinyin: Táiwān bǎihé), is a plant species in the lily family, endemic to Taiwan.[2][3] It is closely related to the Easter lily found in the Ryukyu Islands of Japan , eastern and northern Taiwan. Both species are cultivated for their showy, trumpet-shaped flowers. Lilium formosanum has become naturalized in scattered locations in Africa, Australia , and the Americas.[1]

Names
Several common names for the Taiwanese lily are in use among Taiwanese-speaking peoples. These include wild lily (Template:Zh-t or Template:Zh-t), trumpet flower (Template:Zh-t), mountain garlic (Template:Zh-t, Template:Zh-t, or Template:Zh-t), and master's flask (Template:Zh-t or Template:Zh-t).[4] It is said the flower has another name of flower of broken bowl (Template:Zh-t) from the elderly members of the Hakka ethnic group. They believe that because the Taiwanese lily grows near bodies of clean water, harming the lily may damage the environment, just like breaking the bowls that people rely on.[5] An alternative explanation is that parents convince children into not taking the lily by convincing the children that their dinner bowls may break if they destroy this flower.
In indigenous culture
This flower is favoured among the Rukai people who call this flower bariangalay, the Rukai often wear them in headdresses during special occasions or ceremonies.[6][7]
