LILIACE^. 



Allium haematochiton Wats. Wild Onion. 



Along streams of the south side at about 5000 ft. alt. The 

 bulbs and stems are often in pairs and the involucre is composed 

 of three bracts instead of two as usually described. (No. 2096.) 



Allium Parryi Wats, (f) 



A small onion which probably belongs to this species was 

 collected among the rocks of Tahquitz Ridge at 6500 ft. alt., but 

 in too poor a condition to be definitely determined. (No. 2310.) 



Bloomeria aurea KcU. Golden Bloomeria. 



Quite connnon in open pine forests on the south and west 

 sides of the mountain up to an altitude of 6000 ft. (No. 2101.) 



Brodiaea capitata Bentli. Hoohera capitata Ktze., Rev. Gen. 



PI. 712 (181)1). Blue Dicks. 



Occasional throughout the Lower Transition Zone but more 

 frequent at lower altitudes. 



Brodiaea minor (Benth.) Wats. Hookera minor Britten, 

 Journ. Bot. xxiv. 

 Found only in meadows near Strawberry Valley. (No. 2093. ) 



Calochortus invenustus Greene, Pitt. ii. 71 (1890). 



Very common, usually in meadows but also on shaded hills 

 throughout the Transition and Canadian zones, reaching an 

 altitude of 9400 ft. near Round Valley. This is probably a mere 

 variety of C. splendens, since it exhibits all degrees of gradation 

 from the robust form with well developed l)ul1)lets and umbellate 

 inflorescence to the slender- stemmed form described by. Purdy,* 

 from specimens collected in Strawberry Valley, as C. splendens 

 var. montanus. In fully opened flowers the sepals are always 

 shorter than the petals and the color is much paler than in 

 flowers of G. splendens. (Nos. 2297, 2475.)
