2.  Flower length of Coastal BTK has range of 17-30 mm.

3.  Top of connective tissue extends into a pointed tooth resembling an inverted-V.

4.  Top of connective has an indentation or notch resembling a V or a U.

5.  Notch in top of connective contains a pointed toothlike lobe resembling the center of a W.

6.  This is a narrow ridge of inner perianth tissue between the bases of adjacent staminodes and filaments. When viewed from above, it appears to fuse the bases of staminodes and filaments into a connate ring of tissue. In some species this ridge may be at least one mm in thickness. In others, it is less than 0.5 mm and barely discernable or lacking. It is barely discernable in some populations of Kern County BTK and southern California Montane BTK, but is conspicuous in Coastal BTK of southern California and Brodiara jolonensis of central California.

7.  Brodiaea jolonensis appears to be endemic to the Coast Ranges of central California (primarily Monterey County). Reports of BJ in southern California (Santa Barbara to the Mexican border) appear to be Coastal BTK. Reports of BJ on Santa Catalina and San Miguel Island are also Coastal BTK. The taxonomic status of Coastal BTK is enigmatic because it tends to intergrade with Montane BTK on the Santa Rosa Plateau of Riverside County.

8.  There are other characteristics not listed in the above table. Some of these are quite variable and might be correlated with annual rainfall or other factors. In general, BJ has consistently the longest scapes of all brodiaea populations observed (up to 29 cm). BTT has the consistently shortest scapes, often only 2-6 cm long. Inland BTT in the La Panza Range resemble a diminutive version of Kern County BTK, except the staminodes are more strongly bent inward. Ovaries of BJ in Monterey County are consistently purple, a trait that is shared by no other species. Some Coastal and Montane BTK in southern California have green ovaries with faint streaks of purple, but these could hardly be called purple. Chromosome numbers need further study. Niehaus' numbers of 36 for BJ in southern California obviously refer to Coastal BTK.
