Nemastylis nuttallii, the Nuttall's pleatleaf,[1] Ozark celestial-lily or pine woods lily, is a plant species native to Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma in the south-central United States.[2] Some authors have mistakenly called this species N. coelestina.[3]
Nemastylis nuttallii is a bulb-forming perennial herb up to 40 cm (3 feet) tall. Stems are usually unbranched. Leaves are very narrow and linear. Flowers are pale blue, opening in the evening.[3][4][5]
