Difference Between Tiger Lily?

Agawam, MA(Zone 6a)

I'm very confused-what is the difference between Lilium lancifolium (Lilium tigrinum) and Lilium lancifolium var. splendens (Lilium tigrinum var. splendens). People seem to use the names interchangable to describe the same Tiger Lily. How do you tell them apart? Any help you can give me would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks

Here is some info from a quick search http://www.paghat.com/tigerlily.html and http://www.mikesbackyardgarden.org/ltigrinumsplendens.html It would appear that splendens is shorter and has smaller flowers.

Moby, thanks so much for the information.
