Dichelostemma is a genus of North American plants closely related to the genus Brodiaea and sometimes regarded as part of that group.[4][5]
Dichelostemma is classified in the cluster-lily subfamily within the asparagus family.[6] in the latest Angiosperm Phylogeny Group classification (2009).[7] Older sources often placed it in the lily family; earlier versions of the APG classifications used the family Themidaceae.
The genus is native to the North America, especially in northern California , but also east to New Mexico and north to British Columbia and south into northwestern Mexico.[4][8]
These plants grow from perennial corms that produce a raceme or umbel-like inflorescence. The flowers are bell- or tube-shaped and produce capsules with black seeds. The name, from the Greek for "toothed crown", refers to the stamen appendages.
