How surprising! I have seen Amsinckias, but I did not recognize that flower as one, I guess because the 'curl' to the stem doesn't show. I've now searched calphotos, which has pictures of A.menziesii intermedia which shows red marks like the one in the Triteleia photo. I checked the map showing all the California counties it has been collected from http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/… and it is amazingly widespread. Every country except Plumas and Alpine have contributed pressed specimens to herbaria, and that may not mean that it doesn't grow in them as well. I found a second one also with red marks: eastwoodiae, but at a quick glance, it is found in only about half of California's counties. Diane >>
