Fritillaria affinis (Schult. & Schult. f.) Sealy (syn. F. lanceolata) is an herbaceous monocot with a nodding, bell-shaped purple to brown-mottled flower with a distinctive bulb covered in small rice-like bulbets. The stems are single, slender, and 20 to 50 cm tall, with usually two whorls of narrow, tapering leaves.
Mature bulbs are distinctly bell shaped with a “crown” at the bulb base. When bulbs sprout, the apical meristem often splits the bulb into two or more fleshy scales. This genus is most well-known for the numerous, “rice-like” daughter bulbils which grow from the basal plate.
The bell-shaped bulbs and tiny bulbets of Chocolate Lily were harvested both before and after the plant flowered in mid-spring. Bulbs were boiled or steamed but were not generally dried for storage.
Grassy meadows and bluffs across most elevations.
