Leaves 10–40 cm × 4–22 mm. Scape 30–60 cm, smooth to scabrous. Flowers: perianth white, unstriped, 7–10 mm, tube shallowly bowl-shaped, 2–4 mm, hyaline vescicles present in tube, lobes 7–12 mm, 2–3 times longer than tube; stamens attached at 1 level, equal; filaments linear, 2–4 mm, apical appendages absent; anthers bluish purple or bluish purple-dotted, 1–2 mm; ovary twice as long as stipe; pedicel 0.5–5 cm. 2n = 16.
Phenology: Flowering spring (Mar–Jun).
Habitat: Dry rocky outcrops, volcanic hills and mesas

Discussion
Triteleia lilacina differs from T. hyacinthina in base chromosome number and in that the interior of the perianth tube is covered with hyaline vesicles (making a glassy nectary). In addition, T. lilacina has linear filaments and bluish purple anthers at anthesis, whereas T. hyacinthina tends to have triangular-dilated filaments and whitish to yellow (or rarely blue) anthers at anthesis.
