Naming
It is one of several species of lily to which the common name tiger lily is applied, and some regard this the correct species to which the name should be applied. Botanists for many years considered "L. tigrinum" the correct scientific name until it was determined that older name "L. lancifolium" refers to the same species. Under the rules of international botanical nomenclature, the older name takes precedence.
Uses
It is cultivated in Asia for its edible bulbs. The cultivar 'Splendens' has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.References:
