Sepals each with a conspicuous pit at base; anthers apiculate. 



Pit round; anthers as long as the filaments. C. subalpinus. 



Pit linear; anthers shorter than the filaments. C. lobbii. 

 Sepals without a pit at base; anthers acute. 



Gland of each petal covered by a scale. C. purdyi. 



Gland of each petal naked. ^_ , C. tolmiei. 



iklochortusjmhalmnus Piper. Stems flexuous, 15-20 cm. high; leaf 3-8 mm. 



; sepals lance-ovate with a conspicuous round purple pit at base; petals p 

 cream-colored, sparsely bearded, except near the tip, the gland bordered above * 

 by a narrow entire scale; anthers long-apiculate, equalling or longer than the 

 filaments. ^ti^JJ^ ^ t&~* , 



In subalpine meadows, Mount Adams and southward. 



Calochortus lobbii (Baker) Purdy. Very similar to C. subalpinus; pit 

 at base of each sepal linear; petals bearded to the tip; anthers apiculate, shorter 

 than the filaments. 



Cascade Mountains of Oregon; perhaps not distinct from C. subalpinus. 



Calochortus purdyi Eastwood. Stems 20-40 cm. tall, usually branched; 

 leaves linear-lanceolate, flat, 10-12 mm. broad; sepals narrowly ovate, acumin-

 Oregon. 



Calochortus tolmiei Hook. & Arn. Stems about 30 cm. high, simple or 

 branched; leaves 10-12 mm. broad; sepals oblong-lanceolate, acuminate; 

 petals yellowish, tinged with purple, bearded, the deep gland near the base
