Flowers 2–5(–10); tepals whitish or rarely bluish, with green abaxial midvein, broadly lanceolate; perianth tube 0.3–0.5 mm, lobes 3–6 × 1.5–2.5 mm; stamens 2–4 mm; filaments erect, conspicuously dilated entire length, distinct but with broad overlapping margins forming cylindrical nectariferous tube with apical crown; anthers yellow, 0.6–0.9 mm; pedicel 0.5–3 cm. Capsules 3–7 mm. Seeds 2–3 mm. 2n = 14.

Discussion
Muilla coronata is found in deserts of southern California and southwestern Nevada. The scape is very short compared to that of other Muilla species. The erect, dilated filaments form a cylindrical crown similar to that found in some species of Triteleia and Androstephium.
