Many different plants carry the
common name "lily" in their
descriptions, such as "lily-of-the-valley"
and "day lily." The true lily is in the genus
Lilium, and has many separate species
such as the elegant regal lily, Lilium regale. True lilies have bulbs with a basal plate
that roots emerge
from, and the bulbs are fragile and
easily bruised
