Description

desert mariposa, Calochortus kennedyi, California, White Mountains, Gilbert Pass, Deep Springs Valley drainage, elevation 1731 m (5680 ft).

Varieties kennedyi and munzii growing together.

In this area the yellow var. munzii occurs as scattered individuals within populations dominated by orange var. kennedyi, and behaves more like an occasional genetic variant than a cohesive taxon.
