Lilium Bosniacum
''Lilium bosniacum'' is a lily native to Bosnia and Herzegovina. It is also known as ''zlatni ljiljan'' (Bosnian language, Bosnian for golden lily) and ''Bosanski ljiljan'' (Bosnian lily). ''L. bosniacum'' has often been lumped and split and lumped again. Some results of molecular studies support it as an infraspecific taxon of ''Lilium carniolicum''. ''Lilium bosniacum'', together with ''Lilium albanicum'' and ''Lilium jankae'' have been treated as varieties of ''Lilium carniolicum''.
