    Reviewer's comments:
         "This is probably misidentified. The smooth petals are not typical of C. Elegans, nor does the location match the generally known geographical area for C. elegans. If the location is correct, the correct identification would be C. uniflorus. Another possibility would be C. umbellatus which has a similar appearance but is not known to occur in this location.

         "Definitely not C. elegans, appears to be a pale Calochortus macrocarpus to me but then that is out of this species range so ?"
