It can be locally very abundant within its range which is basically restricted to the Rogue River Oregon Rogue River , and Applegate River drainages in Josephine County and Jackson County, Oregon Jackson County in Oregon , and barely into northern Siskiyou County in California. Description It blooms early in the southern part of its range starting in February, with some locations carpeted by E. hendersonii in the thousands in March, where it often blooms with Dodecatheon hendersonii . It blooms at higher elevations through May. It is most abundant in dry, open woodlands of Ponderosa Pine , Garry Oak , and Madrone . Description E. hendersonii has a pair of mottled leaves, and its scape can bear up to eleven blossoms, but more commonly 1 4. The flower color is distinctive among all western North American Erythroniums. The color of the recurved tepals varies from a deep velvety purple, to lavender. The base of the tepals is dark purple, and surrounded by a tinge of white or yellow. The stigma is unlobed to shortly three lobed, and the anthers are purple to brown.

The fire was named after Biscuit Creek in southern Oregon. Siskiyou wildfires The fire season in 2002 was an especially active one that started early with major fires in Arizona , Colorado , and New Mexico , pulling resources from the Pacific Northwest . Between July 12 and July 15, a series of Thunderstorm lightning storms occurred in California and Oregon starting hundreds of small wildfires. During this period, five such fires were started within a span style white space nowrap 20 mi 32 km span radius of each other near the state border. Due to the fires already burning in other areas, insufficient numbers of fire crews and smokejumper s were available to combat these fires and they began to burn out of control. The large Florence Fire, which had started approximately span style white space nowrap 30 mi 48 km span north of the border, eventually joined what was known as the Sour Biscuit Fire which was burning very close to the border. Once the massive Biscuit Fire was created, it could not be fully contained until December 31, 2002. Damages The fire destroyed 4 primary residences and 10 other structures, put 15,000 residents on evacuation notice and burned most of the 180,000 acre 728 km Kalmiopsis Wilderness .
