No disc/collar under flower.
And yeah, these plants were blooming in several locations at West Fork. Yes, in December. What is going on?! Is this from the freak rain storms we had this year?

jdmoreDescription
chaparral yucca, Hesperoyucca whipplei, White Mountains, elevation 1595 m (5240 ft).
This is a recently discovered northward range extension (or maybe more accurately, remnant of range contraction) for this species at the southern edge of the Great Basin in the White Mountains. Only this single very healthy plant was found despite multiple further searches of the area. The main range of chaparral yucca is in the southern Sierra Nevada and southwestern California chaparral, into northern Baja California.
Specimen number Morefield 5818.
