Veratrum fimbriatum—fringed corn lily. Included in the CNPS Inventory of Rare and Endangered Plants on list 4.3 (limited distribution). Endemic to wet meadows near the coast in a 96 km (about 60 mile) stretch of Sonoma and Mendocino counties. The Flora of North America calls the species "paleoendemic", that is a relict from at least before the last Ice Age, and possibly, even older. It can be grown in gardens in the north coast and San Francisco Bay Area. Veratrum fimbriatum is quite toxic for sheep and a minor toxin for humans. Humans may get a bad stomach ache that will clear up within a day. Photographed at Regional Parks Botanic Garden located in Tilden Regional Park near Berkeley, CA.
