INFORMATION PROVIDED WITH THE PHOTO
  • date of photo  Apr 27, 2012
  • location   Del Puerto Canyon, east of Mt Hamilton (Stanislaus County, California, US)
  • family Alliaceae
  • notes   Habit of a single plant of Allium diabolense growing in serpentine substrate.

    Using the JM2 key...the single cylindrical leaf; included stamens; entire, white perianth; and location...make Allium diabolense the only reasonable determination here. I'm somewhat troubled by having to go with ''stigma lobes 3'' at couplet 4' of the key, as it appears the stigma lobes are +/- 0 in my images. But perianth color and widely disjunct geographic distribution eliminate all the candidates under the alternate choice. Perhaps the degree to which the stigma lobes develop and become visibly apparent depends on how far along the flower is phenologically?
