White Brodiaea—Triteleia hyacinthina.
Ithuriel's Spear—Triteleia laxa.
There are one or two kinds of Brevoortia.
Fire-cracker Flower
Brevoòrtia Ida-Màia (Brodiaea coccinea)
Red and green
Spring
Cal., Oreg.
A handsome plant, most extraordinary both in form and color. The stem is from one to three feet tall, with a few grasslike leaves, and bears a large cluster of six to thirteen flowers, one or two inches long, hanging on slender, reddish pedicels. They have bright-crimson tubes and apple-green lobes, sometimes turned back, showing the tips of the three pale-yellow anthers. There are also three stamens without anthers and broadened so that they look like three white or yellowish petals. The buds are also crimson, tipped with green, and the whole color scheme is wonderfully brilliant and striking. This grows in mountain canyons and on wooded hillsides, blooming in late spring.
There are several kinds of Muilla, much like Brodiaea and very much like Allium, but with no onion taste or smell.

Muílla marítima

Cal., Nev.
A slender little plant, sometimes rather pretty, from three to nine inches tall, with sweet-scented flowers, about three-eighths of an inch or less across, white or greenish, striped with green outside, with six, bluish, swinging anthers. This grows in alkaline fields, on sea cliffs and mesas.
