Abstract
Colchicum luteum Baker (Colchicaceae), an economically and medicinally important threatened medicinal herb has been poorly investigated for its distribution, propagation, and conservation. We observed very restricted distribution of the species in Lahaul, Himachal Pradesh. The species were found in two locations only (Mailing & Kukumseri).
