Erythronium seed dispersal

Travis,

A Google search of "Erythronium life-history" (without the quotes)
finds a report suggesting that E. japonicum has a normal life
expectancy of about 40 years:
http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/…
This number could vary greatly between species.

The previously mentioned 2007 NARGS Erythronium article contains some
useful and interesting horticultural information but readers can
easily be mislead into believing there are two acceptable "subgenera"
of Erythronium which is not true. This article completely ignored the
most relevant and recent literature available at the time, presumably
because it contradicted the author's hypothesis:
