Nomocharis was a genus of flowering plants in the family Liliaceae. It consisted of about 7 species native to montane regions of western China, Myanmar, and northern India. [1] They are similar to Lilium , with one of the more obvious differences being the flowers being more shallow or sometimes flat. [2]
As of October 2024 [update] it is listed as a synonym of Lilium by Plants of the World Online, [3] World Flora Online, [4] and World Plants. [5] In the early 2000s some authorities were treating Nomocharis as a group embedded within Lilium, rather than as a separate genus. [1] [6] Similarly in 2021 the United States Department of Agriculture and the Agricultural Research Service listed it as "Usually considered a synonym of Lilium." [7]
The 10 species formerly placed in this genus by the World Checklist of Selected Plant Families in 2014 were: [8]
