    Action: changed name from "Allium tuolumnense" to "Triteleia hyacinthina "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "I believe this photo is of the similar, but not so rare, Triteleia hyacinthina. T. hyacinthina flowers have a green or bluish stripe on the outer surface of each lobe. The stamen filaments are triangular and form a ring around the shallow bowl-shaped corolla tube. All that is a good match here.

    Images for Allium tuolumnense on CalPhotos show how the stamens differ from T. hyacinthina: https://calphotos.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/img_query?rel-taxon=begins+with&where-taxon=Allium+tuolumnense|Allium+sanbornii+var.+tuolumnense

    They're longer and thinner and don't join up to form a ring. Also there's no bowl-shaped tube inside them around the ovary."
