Erythronium
Erythronium, the fawn lily, trout lily, dog's-tooth violet or adder's tongue, is a genus of Eurasian and North American plants in the lily family, most closely related to tulips. The name Erythronium derives from Ancient Greek ἐρυθρός (eruthrós) "red" in Greek, referring to the red flowers of E. dens-canis. Of all the established species, most live in North America; only six species are found in Europe and Asia.

Erythronium is a genus of Eurasian and North American plants in the lily family. They are commonly known as dog's-tooth-violets or trout lilies, and typically grow in woodlands and meadows. The pink, yellow or white flowers often nod downwards, with mottled leaves that have led to the name 'trout lilies'. The name "dog's-tooth" refers to the white, tooth-like shape of the bulb.
