It is endemic to Marin County, California, where it is known only from one population on Ring Mountain east of Mill Valley. There it occurs on a single serpentine outcrop in grasslands from {{convert|50|-|150|m|ft}} in elevation.[1][2] DescriptionCalochortus tiburonensis is a perennial growing from a bulb to 10–60 cm in height with a single leaf.[3] It produces anywhere from 2 to 7 erect flowers annually on a branching stem. The ciliate, light yellow-green petals are streaked with purplish-brown. When mature, ovaries form capsule full of small, dark brown seeds.[4]ConservationThe plant was federally listed as a threatened species in 1995.[5] It is considered threatened due to loss of surrounding habitat to recreational activities, to competition from invasive plant species, to its proximity to a dense population center, and to its confinement to a single population of plants. The population grows on land owned by the Marin County Open Space District,[6] an area previously owned and preserved by The Nature Conservancy.[5] It was first brought to the attention of science in 1971, and was described to science in 1973.[7] It is protected along with a number of other rare serpentine soils endemics that grow on and around Ring Mountain.[5][4] The plant has probably always been rare and limited to its current distribution on the Ring Mountain outcrop.[5] A 1991 estimate placed the total population size at about 40,000 individuals.[5][8] While the land is protected, the flora upon it are still vulnerable to events such as wildfires or drought, and to damage from off-leash dogs, hikers, cyclists, vandals, and wildflower collectors.[5] References1. ^Jepson Manual Treatment . accessed 2.12.2013 2. ^Calflora taxon report, University of California @ Berkeley: Calochortus tiburonensis Tiburon mariposa lily 3. ^Calochortus tiburonensis.
