Camassia angusta (Liliaceae), wild hyacinth, is an Illinois-endangered
bulbous perennial herb that occurs in rich mesic prairies. It is found in the
south-central United States extending northeast to Indiana. It has been located
in two Illinois counties—Macon and Peoria; however, only one population
persists, a railroad prairie in Macon County. |
