Erythronium pluriflorum
Also called Shuteye Peak Fawn Lily
Manyflower fawnlily is a rare California wildflower that grows from a small bulb and produces yellow, curly-petaled flowers in spring. It is endangered and grows only in a few isolated spots in the central Sierra Nevada, so it is not a garden plant to collect from the wild.
Erythronium pluriflorum is a rare species of flowering plant in the lily family Liliaceae which is known by the common names manyflower fawn lily, golden fawn-lily, and Shuteye Peak fawn lily.
It is endemic to California, in the central Sierra Nevada within eastern Madera County. It is known only from isolated populations on Chiquito Ridge and Shuteye Peak, in the San Joaquin River watershed. It is listed as an endangered species by the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and IUCN, and is on the California Native Plant Society Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants.
