Calochortus clavatus, Wats. Petals yellow lined with brown, the lower part bearing club-shaped (clavate) hairs, the gland deep and circular; anthers purple. Calif.— In this excellent sort we have the largest-fld, and stoutest-stemmed of all mariposas. The bulb is very large, the single bare lf. 1 or 2 ft. long: the st. is heavy, stout and zigzag. The fls. are shaped like a broad-based bowl, sometimes 5 or 6 in. across. The color is a deep, rich yellow, and the lower half is covered thickly with stiff yellow hairs, each tipped with a round translucent knob, and in the light look like tiny icicles. There are various strains: Eldorado, the largest, not so deep yellow; Ventura, very stout, deep yellow; Obispo, like the last, but the upper half of the back of each petal is olive-brown, which shows through the deep yellow of the inside, giving changeable shades.
