A Guide to Terminology for the Easter Lily (Lilium longiflorum Thunb.)1

Abstract

The impetus to compile a guide to terminology for the Easter lily was provided by a series of joint meetings between lily researchers and various industry representatives. During the course of these meetings, it became obvious that some terms did not relate the same phenomenon to all individuals. As a result, it was decided that an effort should be made to compile a list of terms directly related to Easter lily production and research. The glossary which follows is a result of those efforts. Hopefully, the guide will aid students, researchers, and industry representatives.
