(SYN: Veratrum eschscholtzii)

eFlora.org lists two varieties:
var. eschscholzianum is found in western NA. Note drooping inflorescence.
var. viride: of eastern NA rarely droops

from eFlora.org
Veratrum viride consists of two clearly related, disjunct populations, one in eastern and one in western North America. These were clearly separated by continental glaciation and have subsequently evolved in isolation. Nonetheless they show many critical features in common, and individual plants from either region occasionally show one or more features common to plants in the other. The two populations have been variously classified as separate species, varieties, or subspecies, or as a single taxon. We have chosen to recognize two distinctive, if subtle, varieties.
