    Reviewer's comments:
         "Note: the bend on the style is atypical for Erythronium citrinum var. citrinum.

    E. californicum note: May intergrade with Erythronium citrinum, Erythronium multiscapideum

    even though they are suspected to intergrade, all 3 taxa should have straight styles, except +- straight for E. citrinum

    Further study needed ;-)"

    Reviewer's comments:
         "This population has no styles longer than 10 mm whereas a population of E. californica would have most plants if not all with styles > 10mm. The declined style is sometimes present in populations of E. californicum, and it's very common in E. shastense. The shorter styled plants like E. citrinum tend not to have this trait as you point out. It's very likely that there is some hybridization occurring because this population is located in a transition zone between E. cal. & E. cit. As you travel east you encounter just E. cit. and as you travel south & west it's all E. cal."
