Erythronium umbilicatum subsp. umbilicatum
IllustratedEndemic
Stolons absent. 2n = 24.
Phenology: Flowering spring.
Habitat: Woods of flood plains and adjacent slopes along creeks, streams, small rivers
Elevation: 0–900 m

Ala., Fla., Ga., Ky., Md., N.C., S.C., Tenn., Va., W.Va.
Discussion
Since subsp. umbilicatum does not produce stolons, most plants in a population produce flowers, and seedlings may be frequent. Although many Erythronium species have considerable variation in size at flowering, E. umbilicatum subsp. umbilicatum is especially variable in this regard.
