"
Lilium
foliis sparsis, multiflorum, floribus reflexis, fundo aureo, limbo aurantio, punctis nigricantibus, pedunculis singulis unico folio instructis
" in Trew, Pl. Select.: 2, t. 11. 1751.

Note:
See discussion by Woodcock & Stearn (
Lilies World
: 345. 1950), whose f. 110 (and see above) is of
Trew's
illustration which was cited in the protologue. Adams & Dress (in
Baileya
21: 179. 1982) treated 420.8 (LINN) as the
lectotype
, but rightly state there is nothing to link this material with the name. It is not original material and is ineligible for designation as the
lectotype
.
