    1. Reviewed by Stephen Lowens    May 4, 2002

    Action: changed name from "Calochortus vestae" to "Calochortus superbus "

    Reviewer's comments:
         "This is a "classic" superbus photo. The key is that the shape of the glandular hairs is an inverted "V" rather than the "M" seen in vestae. Also, vestae is a species of Northern California inner coastal range; this location is in the Sierras.
