Any plant of the genus Calochortus (family Liliaceae), the members of which have brightly coloured flowers and are native to western North America and Central America; spec. one with large, erect, cup-shaped flowers.Horticulturalists often divide the genus into three sections: mariposa lilies sensu stricto; star tulips, with erect star-shaped flowers; and globe tulips, with nodding globular flowers.
