: These are based on hybrids within ''Lilium'' [[Section (botany)|section]] ''Archelirion'',<ref name=Barba-Gonzalez /><ref name=Tuyl />  specifically ''[[Lilium auratum]]'' and ''[[Lilium speciosum]]'', together with crossbreeds from several species native to Japan, including ''[[Lilium nobilissimum]]'', ''[[Lilium rubellum]]'', ''[[Lilium alexandrae]]'', and ''[[Lilium japonicum]]''.
:They are fragrant, and the flowers tend to be outward facing. Plants tend to be tall, and the flowers may be quite large. The whole group are sometimes referred to as "stargazers" because many of them appear to look upwards. (For the specific cultivar, see [[Lilium 'Stargazer'|''Lilium'' 'Stargazer']].)
