Kartesz, J.T. 1999. A synonymized checklist and atlas with biological attributes for the vascular flora of the United States, Canada, and Greenland. First edition. In: Kartesz, J.T., and C.A. Meacham. Synthesis of the North American Flora, Version 1.0. North Carolina Botanical Garden, Chapel Hill, N.C.
Taxonomic Comments
Called Fritillaria lanceolata in older floras, but that name is illegitimate, and the correct name is F. affinis (as in Kartesz, 1999). FNA (vol. 26, 2002) suggests that F. lanceolata var. tristulis may merit formal recognition as a variety, but the new combination under F. affinis remains to be made.
