[Wikipedia] Range, Rarity, Description: Erythronium taylorii is a rare species of flowering plant in the lily family known by the common names Pilot Ridge fawn lily, Taylor's fawnlily, and Yosemite fawn lily. It is endemic to Tuolumne County, California, where it is known only from Pilot Ridge, a remote mountain ridge outside of Yosemite National Park. It was discovered in 1996 and described to science as E. Taylori in 1997, and it is now called E. taylorii.[2] There are at least 1000 individuals in the single known population.[1] It occurs on shaded north-facing cliffs. (link added by Mary Ann Machi)
