We have three different species of deathcamas (Zigadenus) in this area, but foothill deathcamas (Zigadenus paniculatus), also called sand corm, is distinguishable with its bright yellow anthers and frequent appearance in sagebrush areas. It's a member of the Lily Family (Liliaceae), with the narrow leaves providing a clue.
Photo taken 5-19-09. Flower parts are in sixes. This plant is poisonous to both humans and livestock. For more information about foothill deathcamas, click here.
