TIGER LILY LILIUM LANCIFOLIUM

TIGER LILY (Lilium lancifolium Thunb.) ++

Synonym :
L. tigrinum Ker Gawl.

MAD features tiger lily, while PH2 covers Lilium candidum L. and L. martagon L., but excludes L. tigrinum Ker Gawl., now better known as L. lancifolium Thunb. The USDA and WOI view all three as different, so I too, will include all three in my Herbal Desk Reference. EFS and HHB aggregated data for tiger lily and martagon. I treat them as separate.
