Fritillaria striata
Of conservation concern.
Fritillaria gentneri is a restricted endemic closely allied with F. recurva and F. affinis, with which it can be confused. Some evidence suggests that it may represent a hybrid between those two species. More study is needed to determine whether it should remain recognized as a distinct species.

Of conservation concern.
Fritillaria striata is considered rare and endangered in California, the greatest threat at present being loss of habitat due to cattle grazing.
