Prosartes maculata is a North American species of plants in the lily family with the common names yellow mandarin, spotted mandarin or nodding mandarin. It is a perennial plant that flowers in the spring.
It is a native plant of the Great Smoky Mountains and occurs in other parts of the Appalachian region from northern Georgia and northeastern Alabama to southern West Virginia and southern Ohio. There are old reports of isolated populations from near Detroit, Michigan, but these appear now to have been lost to urban development.
Prosartes maculata is an herb up to 80 cm tall. Flowers are bell-shaped, nodding (hanging downward), cream-colored with purple spots.
