Lilium nobilissimum
Lilium nobilissimum is a species of plant in the lily family Liliaceae. Endemic to the island of Kuchinoshima in Japan's Kagoshima Prefecture, it grows on the cliffs of the southwestern portion of the island. In floral breeding circles, the plant was used for the production of upright oriental lilies. Lilium nobilissimum was first described as a form of Lilium japonicum by Tomitaro Makino in 1902; it was elevated to full species status in 1914.
