What is Golden-banded lily

Lilium auratum, yama-yur or golden-banded lily, (Scientific Name: Lilium auratum) is a bulbous plant of the lily family, Liliumceae, native to Japan. It grows wild at the edge of forests in the mountains north of the Kinki region. It grows to a height of about 1 to 1.5 meters. The leaves are green, lanceolate, 10 to 15 cm long, and alternate. In summer, it produces beautiful large flowers with six fragrant flower capsules. The petals are white with a central radiating golden band and scattered small bright orange clusters. Each plant has up to 20 flowers, 6 stamens with red anthers and 1 pistil. The bulb is about 10 cm in diameter, oblong-shaped, and edible, hence the name "lily of the valley". It is also called 'gold-banded lily' in English because of the gold banding on the flower capsule.
A variant of the mountain lily (L. auratum) is Red-banded lily (scientific name: Lilium auratum var. rubrovittatum) which is endemic to Japan and has a red band.
