Sternbergia lutea, also known as the winter daffodil, autumn daffodil, fall daffodil, lily-of-the-field, or yellow autumn crocus, is a bulbous perennial plant in the Amaryllidaceae family. It is commonly used as an ornamental plant due to its striking yellow flowers that bloom in autumn. Growing up to 15cm in height, this clump-forming plant has narrow, dark green leaves and solitary, goblet-shaped flowers. The Latin specific epithet "lutea" refers to its yellow color.
