Clintonia andrewsiana is a species of flowering plant in the lily family Liliaceae. The species was discovered by John Milton Bigelow in 1854 and described by John Torrey in 1856.[3] The specific epithet andrewsiana honors Timothy Langdon Andrews (1819–1908),[4] a "gentleman who assiduously examined the botany" of California during the mid-19th century. The species is commonly known as Andrews clintonia or red clintonia,[5][6] where the latter refers to the color of the flowers. In California, it is also known as bluebead lily or western bluebead lily,[7][8] not to be confused with C. borealis, which is likewise known as bluebead lily. The Pomo people of northern California consider the plant to be poisonous.[9]
