Balode, A., Latvia Univ. of Agriculture, Jelgava (Latvia)
The aim of this research is to evaluate the variability of the martagonlily (Lilium martagon L.) found in the wild in the west of Latvia. Latvia is situated in a nature zone between the vegetation of Northern and Central Europe. The country distinguishes itself with a large variety of flora and fauna (total approx. 27, 7 thousand species). The genus Lilium L. includes approximately a hundred species, subspecies and varieties of species. In northern Europe, one of the best known and longest cultivated of lilies is L. martagon L. It is distributed across the largest growing area of most species - from western Portugal throughout Europe and Asia. To evaluate the survival potential of L. Martagon L. in Latvia, research was carried out in locations at Kurzeme - districts of Ventspils, Kuldiga, and Tukums. The results indicate that the diversity in genotypes varies according to location and distribution. There are differences in phenotypes and colour variability from pale to bright violet-pink. Diameter of flower varies between of 3.5 to 6.0 cm. The height of these plants varies up to 114 - 130 cm. The flowering time is in June and July. Wild martagonlily found in these regions is growing in calcareous soils among shrubs in river valleys and semi-shaded deciduous forests. This particular martagonlily is hardy and disease resistant and is recommended as a donor in breeding programs.
