Lilium bosniacum (Beck) Fritsch | |
L. bosniacum has often been lumped and split and lumped again. Some results of molecular studies[1] support it as an infraspecific taxon of Lilium carniolicum. Lilium bosniacum, together with Lilium albanicum and Lilium jankae have been treated as varieties of Lilium carniolicum.
However, extensive DNA-analyses[2][3] have shown that this group is polyphyletic.
