Can anyone provide information that would help me identify a Calochortus seed capsule as either C. plummerae or C. weedii? I've been watching an area in the northern Santa Ana Mountains but was unable to visit the site during the blooming period. There's nothing in the Jepson manual that jumps out ("FR erect, 4-8 cm, linear, angled" for C. plummerae and "FR erect, 4-5 cm, linear, angled" for C. weedii). These two spp. and C. catalinae are the only spp. in the area, and C. catalinae's seed capsule is noticeably different.
Thank you in advance for any information that might be provided.
