Lilium nobilissimum ( Japanese : Tamoto-yuri ) is a species from the genus of lilies ( Lilium ) in the oriental section .

description

Lilium nobilissimum is a perennial , herbaceous plant and reaches a stature height of 50 to 60, rarely up to 80 centimeters. The onions are slightly flattened and consist of white scales with small pink spots at the top. The stem is firm and strong. The oval leaves are 10 to 12 inches long and 4 to 5 inches wide.

The trumpet-shaped flowers stand upright, have a diameter of around 15 centimeters and a length of 11 to 13 centimeters. The six bracts are not bent outward at the tips and are pure white.

The pollen is dark yellow. The stylus is long with a wide scar . The seed of Lilium nobilissimum germinates with a delay - epigeous , the plant is flowering after three or four years.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 24.

distribution

Lilium nobilissimum is endemic on the island Kuchinoshima the Tokara Islands ( Kagoshima Prefecture , Japan ). It grows there in extremely inaccessible locations on the steep cliffs of the coast, currently only one location is known whose current state of preservation is unclear. A 1996 report described them as "on the verge of extinction".

Systematics

Lilium nobilissimum was first described in 1902 by Makino Tomitarō as a form of Lilium japonicum , the epithet means something like "the noblest". In 1905 Jinzō Matsumura described it as a variety before Makino described it as its own species in 1914.

Its rank was disputed again and again and it was repeatedly slipped as a synonym, variety or form Lilium japonicum . Various molecular genetic studies, however, indicate a status as an independent species, but further research is necessary in this regard.
