Lilium chalcedonicum
Also called Red Martagon Of Constantinople, Scarlet Turk's Cap, Scarlet Martagon Lily
Lilium chalcedonicum, the scarlet martagon lily, is a European species of Liriotypus lily, native to Tuscany, Greece and Albania. Some have been found in North Macedonia, Austria, Slovenia, and Sweden.
It is native to the Balkans but it can also be found in Tuscany. In the Balkans, it spreads from southern Albania across much of mainland Greece, as well as on the islands of the Ionian Sea and Aegean Sea. It thrives in cool areas, mainly in glades of deciduous and boxwood forests of mountainous regions as well as meadows on calcareous, rocky soils at an altitude of 600–1700 meters.
