Brodiaea santarosae is a rare Brodiaea species known by the common name Santa Rosa brodiaea and Santa Rosa Basalt brodiaea. It is endemic to southern California , mostly in the region around the junction of Orange, Riverside, and San Diego Counties and limited to ancient basaltic soils.[1] There are only five known populations.[2] It was once thought to be an intergrade of Brodiaea filifolia and B. orcuttii, but measurements found this to be false.[3] It was described as a new species in 2007.[4]
It is on the California Native Plant Society's list of rare and endangered species.[5]
Description
It is a perennial producing an inflorescence bearing bright purple flowers. Each flower has six spreading tepals with a center containing three stamens and narrow or small staminodes, which are flat sterile stamens lying against the tepals.[6]
