Systematics
As part of the Carniolicum group, which is systematically difficult to dissolve, its systematic position was long unclear, so it was mostly listed as a variety of the Carniolan lily ( Lilium carniolicum ) or with this in the rank of a subspecies as a variety of the Pyrenean lily ( Lilium pyrenaicum ). However, a molecular genetic study of the group confirmed its position as a species in its own right.
