Erythronium revolutum
Erythronium montanum
sules 3–6 cm. Wet woods, riparian areas. Flowering Mar–May. 0–1200m. CR, Est, Sisk. CA, WA; north to British Columbia. Native.
While generally considered a coastal species, populations of E. revolutum can also be found up to 50km inland.
Forest openings and meadows at montane and subalpine elevations. Flowering Jun–Aug. 800–1800m. Casc. WA; north to British Columbia. Native.
Similar to its presumed close relative E. elegans, this species is best identified by its linear, very narrow (less than 0.8 mm) filaments. Its flowers also tend to be more outward-facing than E. elegans and our other species, which are usually nodding. Like E. grandiflorum, this lily is also found emerging from melting snow in montane and subalpine meadows.
