Lilium pardalinum ssp. vollmeri
Bogs, streams, and springs. Flowering Jun–Aug. 100– 1500m. Sisk. CA. Native.
Vollmer’s lily is quite variable, and phenotypic expression is highly dependent on environment and soils. Around the geographic edges of this range, identification becomes more difficult, and ssp. vollmeri intergrades with other subspecies of pardalinum along all its boundaries to produce morphologically jumbled intermediates. Even within the core range of the subspecies, plants in deep shade generally have scattered, wider leaves that much resemble ssp. pardalinum. Like most L. pardalinum, Vollmer’s lily is pollinated in Oregon by pale and western tiger swallowtails and also visited by rufous hummingbirds.
