White Brodiaea Triteleia hyacinthina (Liliaceae)
True green petals are rare among California wildflowers but not particularly uncommon in tropical regions. The White Brodiaea is one of the rare local examples with matching white petals and sepals accentuated with green venation. This species can often be found around the vernal pools that are formed by the runoff of winter rains into a depression. Since there is no outflow from the depression, water is lost only through evaporation.
DISTRIBUTION: Grasslands and vernally wet meadows from NW Calif. and the Cascade Ranges to the Sierra Nevada, Great Central Valley and northern and central portions of CW Calif.; 0-2000 m.
