Abstract

Lilium testaceum syn. Lilium excelsum, Isabell- = Nankinglilie, a hybrid of L. candidum and L. chalcedonicum was found for the first time in 1836. Till today, this species with yellow-brownish flowers and robust stems and leaves can be found in many gardens in the western part of Europe. The ruggedness of L. testaceum is demonstrated by the fact that this species is the only hybridization which has survived from the 19th century to the present. (Feldmaier and Mc Rae 1988).
