Reviewers' comments about this photo (review or add another comment)

Reviewed by Stephen Lowens May 4, 2002

Action: changed name from "Calochortus elegans" to "Calochortus subalpinus "

Reviewer's comments:

"This is a group of Calochortus that is difficult to separate. However, this photograph is at significant variance with all others identified for this species. The correct identification, Calochortus subalpinus, is a species which overlaps the rangeof C. elegans but is quite distinctive in coloring and petal shape. This species does not occur in California.
