Description ²

The perianth of Bridges' Triteleia consists of three sepals and three petals that are alike in color and texture. The flowers are further characterized by six stamens and a solitary style that is terminated by a three-lobed stigma. The genus Triteleia, therefore, was named for tri—three—because all flower parts are in threes. A notable feature of Bridges' Triteleia is the translucent and shiny throat of the flower. Nothing is known about the functional significance of this pattern in attracting potential pollinators.

Distribution (circa 2001) ³

Forest margins, often on rocks, from the Klamath and North Coast Ranges to the foothills of the Cascade Ranges and Sierra Nevada; 0-100 m.
