|discussion=<p>Plants lacking auricles on inner tepals are sometimes segregated as <i>Erythronium</i> howellii, Howell’s fawn-lily, but they do not appear to differ from typical <i>E. citrinum</i> in any other characters. <i>Erythronium citrinum</i> intergrades with <i>E. californicum</i> and <i>E. hendersonii</i>, occasional populations or individuals displaying intermediate or recombined characteristics. Such plants from the upper Scott River drainage in Trinity County, California, which may be the result of introgression with <i>E. hendersonii</i>, have been recognized as variety roderickii.</p>
