Dear members: As Mary Sue mentioned, she and I have been trying to identify what I called "Dichlostemma pulchellum" in my post. I've keyed this out several times, and came up with different names. None of the keys really seem to apply to my plants, which flower in an umbel, not a raceme. This character may well vary with environment, but here I've never seen anything but an umbel. This is most easily seen after the flowers fall, so feel free to wait to see what your plants are. I finally went to "A Flora of the Pacific Northwest" by Hitchcock and Cronquest. They lump Brodia, Dichlostemma, and Tritelia in one key and call everything "Brodia". They give "Brodia congesta" as having a subcapitate umbel, with all pedicels less than 10mm. The "filament crown" is listed by Hitchcock and Cronquist as a staminode. I have problems with either terminology, because the "staminode" grows directly from the tube of the flower, not from a threadlike filament. Be that as it may, my plants are most like the pictures on the Wiki of Dichlostemma congesta. I'd say the flowers are constricted at the throat, not "slightly constricted". I haven't tried to measure but estimate the throat is about half the diameter of the tube around the ovary. The stems of my plants are rigidly erect, not curved or twisted. Height in the clump varies from about a foot to 3' at the base of the umbel. From a distance, the variation in height is one of the most obvious things about the plants. On to other things. Ken
