"Lilium henryi" (zh-cpl|c=湖北百合|p=Húběi bǎihé|l=Hubei lily), sometimes called Tiger Lily or Henry's lily, is a native lily of montane central China. The flowers are orange, spotted black, and unscented. The petals are recurving, and eventually become turks-caps (though not when young).

Typically it grows to about 1.5 m high in the wild, but the tallest and most vigorous cultivated plants can reach up to 2.5 m tall. It is likely to bend away from any shade and seek the light, and hence may need staking. It is useful as a garden ornamental plant as it is more tolerant than most lilies of lime in the soil.
