Erythronium

Erythronium L.

Erythronium is a genus with ca. 27 predominantly New World species. Only E. dens-canis (and some segregates) are of Eurasian origin (Allen & Robertson 2002). None is native in Belgium but E. dens-canis is sometimes grown as an ornamental and has been recorded as an escape or relic.
