Calochortus. venustus, Benth. Butterfly Tulip. Stout, 6-36 in.: petals white or pale lilac, with a reddish spot at top, a brown-yellow center, and brown base: gland large and oblong, usually densely hairy: caps. 1-2½ in. long. Calif. B.R. 1669. F.S. 2:104. Gn. 46, p. 395.—Very variable. The yellow forms (as var. sulphureus, Hort.) are often treated as forms of C. luteus. To this group of calochortuses is properly applied the Spanish name mariposa (butterfly), for their brilliantly colored fls., with eye-like spots on each petal and sepal, and other delicate markings with dots, lines and hairs, which are strongly suggestive of the wings of a brilliantly colored butterfly. Botanists have variously divided this great group of allied forms between C. luteus and C. venustus. Botanically all may be considered as either strains of one variable species or as a number of closely allied species. CH
