Arthropodium milleflorum (pale vanilla lily) is a species of herbaceous perennial plants native to Australia. It occurs in various habitats including alpine areas and grows to between 0.3 and 1.3 metres high and 0.3 metres wide. The fleshy tubers were eaten by Aborigines. The plant has a strong vanilla fragrance, especially noticeable on warm days.
