In this study, we describe , a newly-discovered lily species identified following extensive surveys in an undeveloped area of the Huanglong National Nature Reserve in Sichuan, China. This region, located in the Hengduan Mountains of south-western China, is recognised as one of the world's prominent biodiversity hotspots, providing diverse habitats for a wide range of plant species. Morphologically, resembles Franch., which is distributed in central China, as well as other tepal-recurved members of the section Lophophora (Bureau & Franch.) F. T. Wang & Ts. Tang. This section comprises dwarf lilies predominantly found in the alpine scrub of the Hengduan Mountains, extending westwards into the Himalayas. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using both nuclear ITS and chloroplast genomes confirm the independent status of the new species and its placement within the section Lophophora. The identification of this new species helps to fill the distribution gap between broad-leaved forest and alpine scrub species within the section, thereby enhancing our understanding of the diversity and distribution history of .
在本研究中，我们描述了一种新发现的百合物种，它是在中国四川黄龙国家级自然保护区的一个未开发区域进行广泛调查后确定的。该地区位于中国西南部的横断山脉，被公认为世界著名的生物多样性热点地区之一，为多种植物物种提供了多样的栖息地。在形态上，它类似于分布于中国中部的宝兴百合（Franch.），以及钟花组（Bureau & Franch.）F. T. Wang & Ts. Tang中其他花被片反卷的成员。该组包含主要分布在横断山脉高山灌丛中的矮生百合，并向西延伸至喜马拉雅山脉。利用核ITS和叶绿体基因组进行的分子系统发育分析证实了该新物种的独立地位及其在钟花组中的位置。这一新物种的鉴定有助于填补该组中阔叶林和高山灌丛物种之间的分布空白，从而增进我们对该属植物多样性和分布历史的理解。
