Triteleia grandiflora
species of plant
Triteleia grandiflora is a species of flowering plant known by the common names largeflower triteleia, largeflower tripletlily, and wild hyacinth.
Description
Triteleia grandiflora is a perennial herb growing from a corm. It produces two or three basal leaves up to 70 centimetres (28 in) long by 1 cm wide. The inflorescence arises on a smooth, erect stem up to 75 cm (30 in) tall and bears an umbel-like cluster of many blue to white flowers. Each flower is a funnel-shaped bloom borne on a pedicel up to 4 or 5 cm long. The flower may be up to 3.5 cm long including the tubular throat and six tepals each just over 1 cm long. The inner set of three tepals are somewhat ruffled and broader than the outer tepals. The flower corolla may be deep blue to almost white with a darker blue mid-vein. There are six stamens with purple or yellow anthers. The prominent tubular flower throat distinguishes T. grandiflora from Triteleia hyacinthina, whose range overlaps T. grandiflora.

Why this record matters
“Triteleia grandiflora” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Triteleia, grandiflora and species provides the most credible route into that argument.
Datasets, specimens, observations and peer-reviewed methods provide the appropriate test for the technical claims summarized here. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jan 10, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q7844267. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
