Leaves mottled in white and light brown, one to four, 
nearly alvvas one or two flowers, stern stout, petals narrow and 
curved, style large and stout, filaments from subulate (awl- 
shaped) to deltoid (triangular); flowers opening from white

Var. PR.ECOX. 
In this charming variety, which 1 have named Preecox, 
the leaves are mottled in mahogany, the most beautifully in 
any Erythronium; the flowers, usually two to four, are 
creamy white with orange center ; I distributed a few of 
these in 1896 as citrinum...., , OQ ;o GO 
Var. WATSONT. 
Differs in' having a full creamy white flower, orange at 
center, and usually banded with brown above the base; in 
foggy weather the flower is bell-shaped. One of the finest 
of Erythroniums; leaves mottled in brown; this, according- 
to Watson, is the typical form of the species, but according 
to Baker, it must be given a varietal rank 3 00 20 00
