Shirui peak (and the lily) are known by different names, each slightly different from the others: Siroy, Shiroi, Sirohee, and Shirui, the last one being the local pronunciation. It is part of the Shirui-Kashong range which is proposed to be a National Park under the Wild Life Protection Act 1972. It is one of the only two places in Manipur that the Siroy Lily is found, and even here only for a couple of months following mid-May every year. The area is also known to be inhabited by endangered bird species like the Blyth's Tragopan and Mrs. Hume's Bar-backed Pheasant or Nongyin, Manipur's state bird
