BRONZEBELLS 



Stenanthium occidentale Gray 



Bronzebells is so delicate and graceful a lily, and has such a modest 

 coloring of green and dark maroon, that it is almost hidden among 

 the vegetation of the moist rich woods, where it prefers to grow. 

 Flowering in company with Rocky Mountain rhododendron and 

 menziesia, it is always a delight to the lover of the beautiful who 

 has eyes to see the variety in nature's handiwork, and will search for 

 her hidden treasures. 



Bronzebells ranges from Montana and Oregon to Alberta and 

 British Columbia. 



The specimen sketched was obtained in the Yoho Valley, ten 

 miles from Field, British Columbia, at an altitude of 4,500 feet.
