| Abstract: | To clarify the ploidy and distribution of Lilium leichtlinii var. maximowiczii populations in Korea, we inspected several mountains and northern valleys and almost all of the sea coast of South Korea. We found nine diploid populations and 19 triploid populations. Many large and small populations were distributed around northern Chungcheongbook‐do and Gyunggi‐do and all over Kangwon‐do. The diploid plants were smaller than the triploid plants in almost all of their morphological characteristics. This is the second report of natural polyploid complexes of diploids and triploids in the genus Lilium. |
