Discussion
Triteleia peduncularis has a wide distribution in the northern California Coast Ranges, but it is usually not common and is quite rare south of San Francisco. The yellow ovary contrasts notably with the white perianth. The long-ascending pedicels are also distinctive. Triteleia ×tubergenii L. W. Lenz is a cultivated amphidiploid hybrid between T. laxa and T. peduncularis (L. W. Lenz 1970).
