Nuttall's Death Camas is a bulb-forming wildflower of dry prairies and rocky slopes in the southern Great Plains and Ozarks, with cream-colored flowers on tall stalks. All parts contain toxic alkaloids, and it is a common cause of livestock poisoning on southern rangelands. It can be confused with wild onions but lacks the characteristic onion odor.
