My understanding is that L. davidii has stem bulblets not stem bulbils.
Most stem bulblets are found underground along theĀ  stem and stem bulbils are at leaf axils.

Neither Lilies of the World nor McCrae mention stem bulbils but Luminita
mentions them specifically on this species. One of them mentions root
bulbils, however. I did check with a hand lens on minute serrations or teeth
on the leaves to confirm this feature.

Attached are two photos of my plant which is distinctly shorter than L.
davidii ssp. willmottiae. The flowers have not so far curved back to the
degree typical of ssp. willmottiae either and according to my key, this
plant would qualify as var. unicolor since it's pale orange, has much
sparser maroon dots on the petals and is a shorter plant with refined
leaves, although the flowers are the same size as ssp. willmottiae.

Forgot to check last night for fragrance. I have several of these coming
along and at least one more should bloom soon.
