Fritillaria crassicaulis is a bulb-forming herbaceous perennial up to 80 cm tall. Flowers are nodding (hanging downward), yellow or greenish yellow, often with brown or purple spots.[3]
Flora of China[3] lists Fritillaria wabuensis as an additional synonym of F. crassicaulis, but World Checklist[1] considers F. wabuensis a synonym for the accepted F. unibracteata var. wabuensis.
