Lilium alexandrae is supposed to be the next relative to Lilium nobilissimum. In a study of Nishikawa et al. (1999), the authors compared nuclear ribsomal DNA (internal transcribed spacer region) of 55 species including L. alexandrae and L. nobilissimum. Both species were monophyletic and the authors assume that the two species have arisen from the same ancestor. Kew Gardens regard Lilium alexandrae as a synonym for Lilium japonicum var. japonicum. With all modesty, we have our doubts.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-1760\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2-64x43.jpg 64w, https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.lilium-tc.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/Lilium-alexandrae-Pontus-2.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><br \/>\n<em>Lilium alexandrae in courtesy of Pontus Wallst\u00e9n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Laboratory comment:<\/strong><br \/>\nNearly extinct in Japan, it is almost inflationary presented in our laboratory and at the moment we are cultivating a few hundred plants that almost double each year.
