Triteleia grandiflora is a species of flowering plant known by the common names largeflower triteleia, largeflower tripletlily, and wild hyacinth. It is native to western North America from British Columbia to extreme northern California, eastward into Idaho, Montana and northern Utah, with disjunct populations occurring in Wyoming and Colorado.Ladyman, J. (2007). Triteleia grandiflora: A technical conservation assessment. US Forest Service.Biota of North America Program, 2013 county distribution map Its habitat includes grassland, sagebrush, woodlands, and forests. It is a perennial herb growing from a corm. It produces two or three basal leaves up to 70 cm long by 1 cm wide. The inflorescence arises on a smooth, erect stem up to tall and bears an umbel-like cluster of many 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. With tubular throat and six tepals, the flower contains six stamens with purple or yellow anthers. The corm provides food for various wild rodents and livestock, and Native Americans and settlers found them edible as well.

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Triteleia grandiflora has left across the world's sequence archives.

The complete instruction manualTriteleia grandiflora carries — its genome. We read it from three angles — how big it is, how the DNA is packed into chromosomes, and how completely it has been sequenced — and explain how to read each value as you go.
Chromosomes & ploidyhow the DNA is packaged
2n is the full chromosome count in a normal body cell; n is a gamete (egg or sperm), which carries half. Ploidy is how many complete chromosome sets each cell holds — 2× (diploid) is typical for animals, while higher levels (polyploidy) are common in plants.

Where the DNA of Triteleia grandiflora was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
