Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary:

Lily
   The Hebrew name shushan or shoshan, i.e., "whiteness", was used
   as the general name of several plants common to Syria, such as
   the tulip, iris, anemone, gladiolus, ranunculus, etc. Some
   interpret it, with much probability, as denoting in the Old
   Testament the water-lily (Nymphoea lotus of Linn.), or lotus
   (Cant. 2:1, 2; 2:16; 4:5; 5:13; 6:2, 3; 7:2). "Its flowers are
   large, and they are of a white colour, with streaks of pink.
   They supplied models for the ornaments of the pillars and the
   molten sea" (1 Kings 7:19, 22, 26; 2 Chr. 4:5). In the Canticles
   its beauty and fragrance shadow forth the preciousness of Christ
   to the Church. Groser, however (Scrip. Nat. Hist.), strongly
   argues that the word, both in the Old and New Testaments,
   denotes liliaceous plants in general, or if one genus is to be
   selected, that it must be the genus Iris, which is "large,
   vigorous, elegant in form, and gorgeous in colouring."

     The lilies (Gr. krinia) spoken of in the New Testament (Matt.
   6:28; Luke 12:27) were probably the scarlet martagon (Lilium
   Chalcedonicum) or "red Turk's-cap lily", which "comes into
   flower at the season of the year when our Lord's sermon on the
   mount is supposed to have been delivered. It is abundant in the
   district of Galilee; and its fine scarlet flowers render it a
   very conspicous and showy object, which would naturally attract
   the attention of the hearers" (Balfour's Plants of the Bible).

     Of the true "floral glories of Palestine" the pheasant's eye
   (Adonis Palestina), the ranunuculus (R. Asiaticus), and the
   anemone (A coronaria), the last named is however, with the
   greatest probability regarded as the "lily of the field" to
   which our Lord refers. "Certainly," says Tristram (Nat. Hist. of
   the Bible), "if, in the wondrous richness of bloom which
   characterizes the land of Israel in spring, any one plant can
   claim pre-eminence, it is the anemone, the most natural flower
   for our Lord to pluck and seize upon as an illustration, whether
   walking in the fields or sitting on the hill-side." "The white
   water-lily (Nymphcea alba) and the yellow water-lily (Nuphar
   lutea) are both abundant in the marshes of the Upper Jordan, but
   have no connection with the lily of Scripture."
