Erythrina purpurascens, Wats. Lvs. undulate, not mottled but shaded in dark metallic tints: fls. small, spreading, crowded in a raceme, light yellow (almost white), center orange, becoming purplish. Sierras.—A very small- fld. erythronium, with 1-8 fls. crowded together. This species grows at 5,000-7,000 ft. altitude in the Sierras. While under some conditions it is low-growing, under other conditions it equals in size and height the most robust species. At the lower altitudes of its habitat snow covers the ground until early May and this plant flowers shortly afterward; it remains very dry in summer and fall.
