Systematics and botanical history
The species was first collected in 1895 by Jean Andre Soulié on a mountain near Cigu in the far north-west of Yunnan and first described in 1918 by Isaac Bayley Balfour using a herbal specimen. The first flowering in culture came in 1927 in the Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh. 1980 the species was placed by the editors of Flora Reipublicae Popularis Sinicae to the genus Lilium . The view did not gain acceptance for a long time, but was confirmed by Gao in 2016 when the genus was incorporated into the lilies.
