Discussion | recent collections of calochortus longebarbatus from oregon exhibit intergradation in the characters that heretofore have been thought to distinguish the following two varieties (k. l. chambers pers. comm.), and their continued recognition may prove unwarranted Varieties 2 (2 in the flora). (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
Calochortus indecorus was collected from the western slope of Sexton Mountain, northeastern Josephine County. Endemic to that area, the taxon is now presumed extinct. (Discussion copyrighted by Flora of North America; reprinted with permission.) |
