    1. Reviewed by Stephen Lowens    May 4, 2002

    Action: changed name from "Calochortus leichtlinii" to "Calochortus venustus "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "While a beautiful picture, it is difficult to precisely identify the species. However, the color pattern does not match C. leichtlinii, which is a high Sierra species. The date of the photograph suggests that this is a species that occurs in lower elevations. An identification to either superbus or venustus would require examination of the shape of the hairs covering the gland; these features are not visible in the photograph.
