Re: Erythronium
Hello Paul,
Have not had a chance to do a search on erythronium as yet. Janis mentioned a
local species in Missouri she called nostratum.... was not on your list of 4
species east of the rockies. Know anything about this one, or is it an old name
that has been dropped in favor of one of the ones you did mention?
