Lilium auratum, also known as the golden-rayed lily or goldband lily, is a true lily native to Japan. It is characterized by its white petals with gold radial markings and orange spots, although some varieties lack spots and have a gold stripe along the tepals instead. It is the largest of any lily species, with plants reaching up to 2.5 metres (8 ft) and carrying up to twenty strongly scented flowers. It has been used widely in breeding and many of the more spectacular modern cultivars are derived in part from this species. It is best grown in plain or acidic soil in a well-drained area with its top receiving sunlight and its base shaded. It can be cultivated by seed or scaling, but its life span is significantly less than that of its descendants. It is also edible, traditionally eaten as lily bulb in Japan, and is used in Chinese cuisine. It may be toxic to cats, although it is not noted among "lilies" of particular concern for felines.
