Lilium auratum |
Lilium auratum (山百合, yamayuri, literally "mountain lily") is one of the true lilies. It is native to Japan and is sometimes called the golden-rayed lily or the goldband lily.
Description
The flower colour is typically white with gold radial markings and orange spots, but variations in flower colour and markings are known. For example, the variety platyphyllum which bears a gold stripe along the
It has been used widely in breeding and many of the more spectacular modern cultivars are derived in part from this species.
Cultivation
This lily does well in plain or acidic soil; rich or fertilised soil will kill the plant. Bulbs should be planted in a hole three times their size in both depth and width in a well-drained area. The best position for this plant is one where its top will receive sunlight while its base remains shaded.
This lily can be cultivated by seed, but for faster reproduction scaling is recommended. Its life span (around 3 or 4 years) is significantly less than that of its descendants, so reproducing this plant is important for gardeners.
Chemistry
L. auratum contains phenolic glycerides such as 1,2-O-diferuloylglycerol, 1-O-feruloyl-2-O-p-coumaroylglycerol, 1-O-p-coumaroyl-2-O-feruloylglycerol, 1-O-feruloylglycerol, 1,3-O-diferuloylglycerol, 1-O-feruloyl-3-O-p-coumaroylglycerol and 1-O-p-coumaroylglycerol.[2]
Export history
The Englishman who was the earliest collector of lily bulbs in Japan was arguably young
Edibility
L. auratum is one of several species traditionally eaten as lily bulb (yuri-ne ) in Japan,[8][9] usually saving the bulbs for eating until they have grown large.[10] The bulb is still used as food,[11] but while wild foraged L. auratum was formerly a major source entering the market, this has largely been displaced by farm-grown kooni-yuri or Lilium leichtlinii.[12]
The bulbs are also eaten in Chinese cuisine.[8]
Toxicity
Any part of the Lilium species may exhibit toxicity to cats,[13][14] but it is not noted among "lilies" of particular concern for felines according to a Japanese veterinary source.[a][15]
