| Note |
GRIN and Flora of China have adopted Hemerocallis esculenta Koidzumi as the scientific name of this plant. On the other hand, Many
Japanese authors have accepted Hemerocallis dumortieri C. Morren var. esculenta (Koidzumi) Kitamura ex M. Matsuoka & M. Hotta or Hemerocallis middendorffii Trautvetter & C. A. Meyer var. esculenta (Koizumi) Ohwi. |
