Lilium pensylvanicum


Lilium pensylvanicum is an Asian plant species of the family Liliaceae. Sometimes called the Siberian lily (or Lilium dauricum), it is native to a cold climate and needs frost in the winter. It is found in the wild form in Northeast Asia. The Latin name is misleading due to an error by the botanist John Bellenden Ker. The plant flowers in June and July with one to six upright, dish-shaped flowers. The seeds mature from August to September.

Limenitis is a genus of brush-footed butterflies, commonly called the admirals. The name Limenitis is derived from the Ancient Greek limenitis (“harbour keeping”), an epithet applied to deities who protected harbours. Limenitis sydyi is a butterfly found in the East Palearctic (Siberia, Russian Far East, Northeast China, Korea) that belongs to the Nymphalidae family. This species prefers the sparse-growth forests dominated by larch that commonly occur at elevations of 400-600 m.
