Dwarf Brodiaea
Brodiaea terrestris ssp. terrestris
(Liliaceae)

The basic parts of a typical flower are the sepals, petals, stamens, and pistil. In some species of flowering plants the stamens are modified into structures called staminodes which are rudimentary or sterile stamens that do not produce pollen. The broad incurved staminodes of Dwarf Brodiaea are attached to the petal-like sepals and alternate with the fertile stamens.

DISTRIBUTION: Grasslands and open woodlands from the North Coast Ranges to central western Calif.; 0-450 m.
