Erythronium propullans ‘sprouting forth’ (Fernald 1950), a plant “vegetatively propagated by prolonged offshoots from near middle of stem” (Fernald 1950); a species which in mature plants have the habit of producing bulbs on runners at a distance from the active bulb at the end of a stalk or runner of varying lengths and directions of growth. From each mature plant there are obtained two individuals at the close of the season, as the result of the vegetative propagation, in contrast to one only as customary in othe other species [F. H. Blodgett,1909. Notes in Botany and Zoology: The Stem Offshoot in Erythronium propullans Gray in The Johns Hopkins University Circular Vol. 28 [p. 706] p. 36-39.
