The bulb of the lily is composed of interlocking fleshy scales. The unbranched erect stems are of variable height, but they do not allow the foot to spread. 

They carry deciduous, elliptical, lanceolate, spiral, whorled, or alternate leaves, somewhat shiny and medium to dark green.

The flowers are solitary or in bunches (cluster, panicle, or umbel). They can be erect, drooping, inclined, or horizontal, with dimensions ranging from 2 to more than 10cm in diameter and shapes that vary: trumpet-shaped, turban-shaped, cup-shaped, or funnel-shaped. 

They count each one six tepals (plain, striated, or with papillae) as well as six stamens and a protruding pistil.
