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 accept enough chilling requirement, the stem begins to elongate while warming.
Taxonomy[edit]
Taxonomical division in sections follows the classical division of Comber,[4] species acceptance
follows the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families,[5] the taxonomy of sectionPseudolirium is
from the Flora of North America,[6] the taxonomy of Section Liriotypus is given in consideration of
Resetnik et al. 2007,[7] the taxonomy of Chinese species (various sections) follows the Flora of
China [8] and the taxonomy of Section Sinomartagon follows Nishikawa et al.[9] as does the
taxonomy of Section Archelirion.[10]
The World Checklist of Selected Plant Families, as of January 2014, considers Nomocharis a
separate genus in its own right,[11] however some authorities consider Nomocharisto be
embedded within Lilium, rather than treat it as a separate genus.[12][13]
There are seven sections:
Martagon
Pseudolirium
Liriotypus
Archelirion
Sinomartagon
Leucolirion
Daurolirion
