Lilium philippinense, commonly known as the Benguet lily,[3] or Philippine lily,[4] is a lily native to Taiwan and to the Cordillera region, primarily to the province of Benguet, in the northern Philippines .[2][5] This flower has several native names like us-usdong ("bowing", Kankanaey), kanyon (Ilocano from Spanish cañón "tube") and sabong ti bantay ("mountain flower").[6]

It grows in well drained rocky slope soil under direct sunlight.[6]
The plant's flowers are white trumpet-shaped, known to emit a fragrant odor.[3][7][8]

Lilium philippinense is endangered and is known to thrive only in high altitudes of the Cordillera Central mountains mostly between 1,443 and 1,868 meters.[6] In August 2013, the Baguio City Environment and Parks Management Office personnel had successfully raised the lilies for six months at the city's Botanical Garden.[7]
