Calochortus ciscoensis Welsh & Atwood (published in 2008).May 28, 2011, 5030 ft., eastern Duchesne Co., Utah, growing in a group of 50+ plants, southeast slope, in dense cheatgrass
Calochortus nuttallii, Utah's state flower, occurs in eleven states with its primary distribution however in Wyoming (throughout that state), Utah (mainly the central and eastern half but extending also to the southwestern corner), the western slope of Colorado, and in somewhat of a corridor in Arizona from the northwestern to southeastern portions of that state.Known also as Nuttall's mariposa. Utah's state flower. That designation however does not give it any sort of legal or other protection. It is not a rare species but large amounts of its formerly occupied habitat have been lost. This is also not a species that typically does well in cultivated gardens; mostly it just wants to be left alone.The foothills habitat at this location has been significantly altered since this picture was taken, and relatively little remains as a result of University of Utah expansion including the construction of buildings in lower Red Butte Garden, the expansion of Research Park, and the construction of the Utah Natural History Museum, and the supporting roads and parking structures, and a large amount of ill-advised landscaping (although some occasional areas, mainly those with dense oaks, have been left somewhat intact).June 20, 1982, above what was then the undeveloped portion of Research Park, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah.Scanned from a slide.This is the typical expression of the species in northern Utah with leaves that are all or mostly not persistent at the time of flowering, plants erect, low growing, with often a singular large mostly white flower or appearing singular, bright yellow at the base above which on each petal is a prominent dark red or purple chevron with purple blotches/streaks and with pale yellow to golden stamens and pistils.
