Excerpt from The Origin and Development of Bulbs in the Genus Erythronium The plants are perennial through the annually renewed bulbs. These are developed at gradually increasing depths from the seed ling to the flowering stage, after which they are formed at a nearly constant depth in the soil. The bulb consists of a few thick scales surrounding the stem apex; the aerial structures push upward from the base through the cavity inclosed by the inner scale. The first aerial structures are single leaves, two leaves and flowers appearing only after several years.

When Rolf Dahlgren and I embarked on preparing this book series, Rolf took prime responsibility for monocotyledons, which had interested him for a long time. After finishing his comparative study and family classification of the mono cots, he devoted much energy to the acquisition and editing of family treatments for the present series. After his untimely death, Peter Goldblatt, who had worked with him, continued to handle further incoming monocot manuscripts until, in the early 1990s, his other obligations no longer allowed him to continue. At that time, some 30 manuscripts in various states of perfection had accumulated, which seemed to form a solid basis for a speedy completion of the FGVP monocots; with the exception of the grasses and orchids which would appear in separate volumes. I felt a strong obligation to do everything to help in publishing the manuscripts that had been put into our hands. I finally decided to take charge of them personally, although during my life as a botanist I had never seriously been interested in mono cots.
