Sierra Brodiaea
Triteleia ixioides ssp. anilina
Themidaceae (=Alliaceae)

---

Triteleia - three perfect (complete), referring to floral parts being in three's

ixioides - like ixia, funnel-shape flower

anilina - indigo color, refering to the purple anthers

Tritleia originally referred to three lilies,
and at one time was in family Liliaceae.

This poor plant has been bounced around different families,
and taxonimists still argue over its final destination!
