    lilium stargazer isn't technically a species, it's a variety of lilium orientalis. These guys are hybrids, so I think lilium x orientalis would be the most correct, though lilium orientalis may be acceptable too? Posted 10 years ago

      Where did you find a reference for lilium x orientalis or lilium orientalis? All I find is the Oriental hybrids (Division VII) or as quoted above - hybrid lily of the Oriental group. Posted 10 years ago

        This is and embedded link from the Division VII as you mention and states:
        Lilium 'Stargazer' (the Stargazer lily) is a hybrid lily of the Oriental group.

        Here is a more in-depth assessment of the stargazer: http://wimastergardener.org/?q=StargazerLily

        This does come up when searched on the preview of the Wiki page, but when you actually go there, this information doesn't appear... "Lilium 'Stargazer'
        Lilium 'Stargazer' is a hybrid lily of the Oriental group. Oriental lilies are known for their fragrant perfume, blooming mid-to-late summer. Stargazers are easy to grow and do best in full sunlight. Wikipedia
        Scientific name: Lilium orientalis"

        Hybrids are rough.. The Wisconsin Master Gardener Website says Stargazers are a "complex auratum-speciosum cross of unknown parentage" http://wimastergardener.org/?q=StargazerLily
