Dear Doug,

Oops, you got me there. You'd think that someone writing in Fremontia which
is the journal for the California Native Plant Society (for those who do
not know) would get it right. I am sorry if something I shared with you has
misled you. Here is a reference from the new Jepson web site that lists the
names for Dichelostemma.

http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/cgi-bin/LN2C.pl/…

The ones agreed on are:
Dichelostemma capitatum (two subspecies, subsp. capitatum and subsp.
pauciflorum)
Dichelostemma congestum
Dichelostemma ida-maia
Dichelostemma multiflorum
Dichelostemma volubile

D. capitatum was previously identified as D. pulchellum so that one is an
old synonym.

You sometimes see listed D. venustum or D. x venustum which was a name for
a hybrid between D. ida-maia and D. multiflorum or D. congestum but there
isn't agreement about whether to accept D. venustum.
