Lilium catesbaei
Also called Catesby's Lily, Leopard Lily, Southern Red Lily, Tiger Lily
Lilium catesbaei, commonly known as Catesby's lily, pine lily, leopard lily, tiger lily, or southern-red lily is a species of lily native to the coastal plain of the American Southeast, from southeast Virginia to Florida, and west to Louisiana.
The species epithet is named after the English botanist Mark Catesby, who collected plants in the Southeastern United States in the early 18th Century.
L. catesbaei is adapted to frequent fires, blooming more conspicuously post-fire. Wildfire suppression is a factor leading to the species' decline in many areas.
