Plants from the San Gabriel Mountains of California sometimes have wider leaves and have been given status as Lilium parryi var. kessleri, but this variation is due primarily to the rather shaded habitat of many of these populations. No significant vegetative discontinuity can be recognized across the range of this species, so no varieties are recognized here. Lilium parryi probably arose from an ancestor in common with L. pardalinum (M. W. Skinner 1988), and subsequently diverged to become pollinated by various hawkmoths (family Sphingidae). The flowers are remarkably similar in form and function to those of L. washingtonianum, which is also moth-pollinated, but this resemblance is due to evolutionary convergence.
Lilium parryi ist eine Art aus der Gattung der Lilien (Lilium) in der amerikanischen Sektion. Sie ist gelegentlich in Kultur.
Lilium parryi erreicht eine Wuchshöhe von bis zu 190 cm. Die Zwiebeln sind rundlich und erreichen einen Durchmesser von etwa 5 cm, sie sind mit weißen Schuppen überzogen und bilden Rhizome aus.
Der Stängel ist hart, glatt und gerade. Die Laubblätter sind schmal, lanzettförmig und von parallelen Nerven durchzogen, bis zu 30 cm lang und 5 cm breit. Sie sind in ein bis fünf Wirteln aus drei bis achtzehn Blättern angeordnet.
Die Pflanze blüht vom späten Mai bis zum frühen September mit bis zu 15 horizontal bis aufrecht in einer Rispe stehenden trompetenförmigen Blüten mit glänzender Textur. Die duftenden, zwittrigen Blüten sind dreizählig. Die sechs gleichgestalteten Blütenhüllblätter (Tepalen) sind leicht rückwärts gerollt. Die Farbe der Blüten ist strahlend zitronengelb mit winzigen braunen Punkten. Jede Blüte hat drei Fruchtblätter und sechs Staubblätter. Die Antheren sind braun, die Pollen ziegelrot und die Filamente hell grünlich. Die einzelnen Blüten erreichen eine Länge von bis zu 10 cm.
Die Samen reifen in bis zu 6 cm langen bis zu 1,7 cm breiten Samenkapseln und keimen sofortig-epigäisch.
Die Pflanze ist in Arizona (wo sie schon ab Mai blüht) und in Kalifornien (Blüte ab Juli/August) endemisch. Häufig ist sie in den San Gabriel Mountains.
Lilium parryi ist eine Gebirgspflanze, die in Höhenlagen zwischen 1300 und 2600 m NN vorkommt. Oft wächst sie in der Nähe von Gebirgsbächen oder in gemischten Nadelwäldern.
Lilium parryi kann mit ihren sehr langen Blüten nicht von allen Insekten bestäubt werden, ein zuverlässiger Bestäuber ist jedoch der neuweltliche Linienschwärmer Hyles lineata.[1]
Es gilt als erwiesen, dass Lilium parryi einen gemeinsamen Vorfahren mit Lilium pardalinum besitzt. Zudem ist die Pflanze Lilium washingtonianum erstaunlich ähnlich, was sich sicher auf evolutionäre Konvergenz zurückführen lässt.

Lilium parryi, common name lemon lily, is a rare species of lily.[3][4][5]
Lilium parryi is native to the southwestern United States and northwestern Mexico where it grows in moist areas in mountain habitats. In California it is currently known from the San Bernardino and San Gabriel Mountains and a few remaining spots near Palomar Mountain to the south.[6] It is the only true lily native to Arizona, where a few populations can be found in the Huachuca, Chiricahua, and Santa Rita Mountains.[7] In Mexico, it has been found in mountains in the states of Sonora and Baja California.[2][6][8][9][10]
Lilium parryi is a perennial herb growing erect to about 2 meters in height from a scaly, elongated bulb up to 11 centimetres (4+1⁄3 in) long. The leaves are generally linear in shape, up to 29 centimetres (11+1⁄2 in) long, and usually arranged in whorls around the stem. The inflorescence is a raceme bearing up to 31 large, showy, bright lemon yellow flowers. The trumpet-shaped, fragrant flowers have six curling tepals up to 11 centimetres (4+1⁄3 in) long, sometimes with a few reddish spots. There are six stamens tipped with large anthers up to 1.4 centimetres (1⁄2 in) long. The pistil may be 10 centimetres (4 in) long. The flowers are pollinated by hawkmoths,[11] especially Hyles lineata and Sphinx perelegans.[12]
Threats to this species include grazing, recreation, natural flooding and human alterations in water regimes, and horticultural collecting of the bulbs and flowers.
Lilium parryi was named for Charles Christopher Parry (28 August 1823 – 20 February 1890), a British-American botanist and mountaineer.
Idyllwild, California, hosts the Lemon Lily Festival, which celebrates this species.[13]

Lilium parryi é uma espécie de lírio perfumada. O nome da planta é uma homenagem ao botânico norte-americano Charles Christopher Parry (1823 - 1890).
A planta é nativa da região oeste dos Estados Unidos (estados da Califórnia e Arizona), florinco próximo de rios, nas montanhas a uma altitude de 2000-3000 metros.[2]
