The Genus Erythronium

The *Erythronium* is a seemingly delicate perennial with a decidedly wild touch. Its recurved petals are often described as "tooth-like" and at times seem to be caught in a dramatic dive toward the ground. Long appreciated for their bright reds and yellows, their easy cultivation, and even their use as a food, these woodland plants are finding growing popularity in North America. *The Genus Erythronium* is the first dedicated monograph on the plant and will be the authority for botanists, gardeners, growers, and breeders everywhere.
