INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  May 7, 2005
  • location   Clear Creek Road, west of New Idria (San Benito County, California, US)
  • family Liliaceae
  • notes   Habit shot of Fritillaria viridea, an endemic of San Benito County and environs (i.e. there are also some records from Monterey & San Luis Obispo Counties). F. viridea (like its close relative F. ojaiensis) is somewhat reminiscent of the more widespread F. affinis, but it's typically a more slender plant with smaller and paler yellow flowers, which are much less mottled than those of F. affinis (or F. ojaiensis). F. viridea seems to prefer growing in the shade or twiggy protection of a 'nurse shrub', though it can less frequently be found growing more in the open, as in this image.
