Lily, petal
The flowers are large, often fragrant, and come in a wide range of colors including whites, yellows, oranges,
pinks, reds and purples. Markings include spots and brush strokes. The plants are late spring- or summer-
flowering. Flowers are borne in racemes or umbels at the tip of the stem, with six tepals spreading or reflexed,
to give flowers varying from funnel shape to a "Turk's cap". The tepals are free from each other, and bear
a nectary at the base of each flower. The ovary is 'superior', borne above the point of attachment of
the anthers. The fruit is a three-celled capsule.[3]
stamen of lilium
Seeds ripen in late summer. They exhibit varying and sometimes complex germination patterns, many adapted
to cool temperate climates.
Naturally most cool temperate species are deciduous and dormant in winter in their native environment. But a
few species which distribute in hot summer and mild winter area (Lilium candidum, Lilium catesbaei, Lilium
longiflorum) lose leaves and remain relatively short dormant in Summer or Autumn, sprout from Autumn to
winter, forming dwarf stem bearing a basal rosette of leaves until, after they have received sufficient chilling,
the stem begins to elongate in warming weather.
Taxonomy[edit]
Taxonomical division in sections follows the classical division of Comber,[5] species acceptance follows
the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families,[6]the taxonomy of section Pseudolirium is from the Flora of
North America,[7] the taxonomy of Section Liriotypus is given in consideration of Resetnik et al. 2007,[8] the
taxonomy of Chinese species (various sections) follows the Flora of China[9] and the taxonomy of
Section Sinomartagon follows Nishikawa et al.[10] as does the taxonomy of Section Archelirion.[11]
The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, as of January 2014, considers Nomocharis a separate genus
in its own right,[12] however some authorities consider Nomocharis to be embedded within Lilium, rather than
treat it as a separate genus.[13][14]
There are seven sections:
