The (Erythronium revolutum), also known as the mahogany fawnlily is a bright flowering plant indigenous to the coastal regions of the Pacific Northwest.

Like a few other Erythronium species, the leaves are mottled. They thrive in swampy woodland areas, often growing in large colonies.

They have been promoted as native garden plants since their first discovery by Western explorers. A successful garden transition requires the bulbs being planted in soil and climactic conditions similar to their native environment.
