cream-colored: pistil half the leng-th of the stamens, cleft for 

 half its length. 



The type is no. 8321, collected in dry granite sand among 

 the foothills west of Bishop, Inyo county, California, May 23, 

 1906. It was found at an elevation of perhaps 5000 feet, and is 

 rather plentiful at places. If heretofore collected it has no doubt 

 passed for Zygadenus venenosus^ which as described by Watson 

 is an aggregate, and the name must be restricted to the large 

 flowered coast form, taking the plant from Monterey county as 

 the type.
