Bransford, W.D. Mrs.
Triteleia hyacinthina (Lindl.) Greene
White brodiaea
USDA Symbol: TRHY3
USDA Native Status: Native to U.S.
White, rarely pale blue, bowl-shaped flowers in an umbel atop a stem with long, narrow, grass-like leaves at base.
The delicate, white, bowl-shaped flowers are unusual among the members of Triteleia and serve to distinguish this species, which perhaps appeared hyacinth-like to the naming botanist. At one time this species was included in the genus Brodiaea, hence its common name.
