Triteleia peduncularis
Also called Long Rayed Brodiaea, Long Rayed Hyacinth, Marsh Triteleia
Long-ray brodiaea is a native Californian wildflower that grows from a corm and produces an umbel of white, purple-tinged flowers on long stalks in spring. It is best grown outdoors in cool-winter, mild-summer climates with a wet spring and dry summer, mimicking its vernal pool and meadow habitat.
Triteleia peduncularis is a monocot flowering plant in the genus Triteleia. Its common names include long-ray brodiaea and longray triteleia. It is endemic to California, where it occurs in the coastal and inland mountain ranges of the northern and central sections of the state. It grows in vernally moist habitat such as meadows, grassland, and vernal pools, often in areas with serpentine soils. It is a perennial wildflower growing from a corm. There are two or three basal leaves measuring up to 40 cm (16 in) long and 1.5 cm (0.6 in) wide. The inflorescence arises on a smooth, erect stem up to 80 cm (31 in) tall. It is an umbel-like cluster of several flowers which are borne on very long, straight pedicels measuring up to 18 cm (7.1 in) long. Each funnel-shaped flower is white, often tinged purple, with six tepals up to 1.6 cm (0.6 in) in length.
