small white fawn lily

Erythronium albidum, commonly known as small white fawn lily, is a member of the Liliaceae family. It is a small herbaceous geophyte that thrives in undisturbed woodlands. The plant is distributed across various regions in North America, including Ontario, Alabama, Arkansas, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, New Jersey, New York, and Ohio. This species is also referred to by several other common names, such as white fawnlily, white trout lily, adder's tongue, white dog's-tooth violet, serpent's tongue, trout lily, deer tongue, creeklily, and yellow snowdrop. The presence of large numbers of Erythronium albidum is an indicator that the woodland has not been subjected to heavy machinery, as it cannot grow in areas with soil compaction.
