Erythronium howellii, or Howell's fawn lily, is a flowering bulb in the lily family endemic to northwestern California and southwestern Oregon. ^{[2] [3]}

It has been reclassified by the Jepson Manual as Erythronium citrinum var. citrinum. ^{[4] [5]}

Distribution

It is found in the Klamath Mountains and northern Outer California Coast Ranges. ^[2]

There are small populations in Siskiyou, Trinity, and Del Norte Counties in northern California; and in Curry, Josephine, and Jackson Counties in Oregon. ^{[2] [6] [7]} It is listed as vulnerable for the following reasons: "Range is Del Norte Co., Calif., and adjacent southern Oregon. Most of the populations occur in Oregon, a few in California. Oregon sites number <38. Populations are not large, many reported during pre-timber harvest surveys." ^[8]
