Eriospermum cooperi

Eriospermum cooperi is a bulbous perennial plant characterized by a solitary, fleshy leaf produced annually. This leaf is lance-shaped with a wavy margin, sitting at ground level, often camouflaged among rocks. During its dormant season, it survives with a below-ground tuber varying in shape. Eriospermum cooperi's delicate flower emerges on a leafless stem, typically appearing after summer fires, an adaptive response to its fire-prone habitat.
