Lilium martagon (martagon lily[2] or Turk's cap lily) is a Eurasian species of lily. It has a widespread native region extending from Portugal east through Europe and Asia as far east as Mongolia.[1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
- Varieties
Numerous names have been proposed at the levels of subspecies and varieties. Only two are recognized by the World Checklist.[1]
- Lilium martagon var. martagon - from Portugal to Mongolia
- Lilium martagon var. pilosiusculum Freyn - Russia, Kazakhstan, Xinjiang, Mongolia
Cultivation
Horticulturally it is in Division IX (true species). It is stem-rooting, growing between 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) and 2 metres (6 ft 7 in) tall. The flower colour is typically a pink-purple, with dark spots, but is quite variable, extending from near white to near black. The flowers are scented. Numerous flowers are borne on each plant, and up to 50 can be found on vigorous plants. The green stems can be flushed with purple or red and the leaves are elliptic to inverse lanceolate, mostly in whorls, up to 16 centimetres (6.3 in) long and often lightly hairy underneath.[10][11]
This plant[12] and the white form 'Album'[13] have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
Lilium martagon was used in hybridising with L. hansonii at the end of the 19th century by Mrs RO Backhouse of Hereford, England.[14]
Name
The name Turk's cap lily, also applied to a number of other species, comes from the characteristic reflexed shape of the petals. The specific epithet martagon is a Turkish word which also means turban or cap.[15]
It is also named as Lily of Istanbul or Sultan Lily or Dragon Lily.
