Remarks
... a new species from southwest Riverside County and immediately-adjacent Miller Mountain of San Diego County, CA. It is easily distinguished from other Brodiaea species in southern California by its large flowers and distinctive, variable staminodes; morphological analysis revealed 11 total differentiating characteristics. Brodiaea santarosae occurs only on or very close to the 8–11 million-year-old Santa Rosa Basalt. It has the smallest range of the southern California Brodiaeas, with just four known populations occupying only a small portion of a ∼40 km2 area, plus a fifth small population disjunct by 11 km.
