Erythronium DNA

About three years ago, Ben Zonneveld began measuring the DNA of
erythroniums. He supplied a list of species he lacked and asked for
leaves so he could weigh the DNA.
I am curious about his results. Have they been published?
A friend who supplied leaves to Dr. Zonneveld just told me that the
plant we consider to be a dwarf form of grandiflorum (the yellow one
that grows on mountains), that grows at a low elevation on one small
mountain on Vancouver Island is perhaps a new species.
