Kṣīrakākolī (क्षीरकाकोली) [or Kṣīrakākoḷī] refers to the medicinal plant known as “Lilium Polyphylum D. Don” and is dealt with in the 15th-century Yogasārasaṅgraha (Yogasara-saṅgraha) by Vāsudeva: an unpublished Keralite work representing an Ayurvedic compendium of medicinal recipes.

Glossary of Vegetable Drugs in Bṛhattrayī 238, Singh and Chunekar, 1999).
