"Lilium arboricola" is an epiphytic lily species with green flowers, and orange-red anthers. It was first botanically described by Frank Kingdon Ward after a collection in the Shan region of Myanmar in 1953. Specimens from this collection flowered once in cultivation in Great Britain and were then lost [ [http://www.the-genus-lilium.com/arboricola.htm arboricola ] ] . It was thought that it had been rediscoveed in Lao Cai, Vietnam, in 2006, and introduced thence to Britain and Canada [The Garden - Journal of the Royal Horticultural Society, May 2007] , but this turned out to be a new species ("Lilium eupetes") [ [http://www.rhs.org.uk/NR/rdonlyres/F6F7C3A0-131D-43A0-B330-CC8F7ECF2BF6/0/CrugFarm.pdf Julian Shaw, Three New Crûg Farm Introductions, Plantsman 7(1): 39-43 (2008)] ]
