Description:

Plants were densely populating the marine terrace from edge most of bluff to and across Highway 1 in all stages of mature seasonal growth: flower buds, open blooms, and maturing capsules. Plants did not exceed 12 cm in total height. This specimen was just inside the fence line at the edge of the footpath from the highway to the bluff edge. Also present in this population were Calochortus clavatus var. recurvifolius and Calochortus albus.
