Placement/number of images
MOS:IMAGES (see also the links there) explains how images should be used in an article and how they should be arranged. As this page was
here it has too many images for the amount of text, which means that the text is 'sandwiched' between large images. This is against Wikipedia style rules (Manual of Style: "Avoid sandwiching text between two images that face each other"); it causes particular problems to users with small screens, e.g. mobile devices. So I moved a couple of images to a gallery, which is a recommended solution; they can be put back if more text is later added to the article.

Yeah, I was fine with the gallery setup, it just appeared that the change had caused the problem with the taxabox, and I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Sorry for the misunderstanding, and thanks for the fix Peter!

Quamash vs. camas
It would be useful to sort out the common names used in the article; at present 'camas' is used in the later additions, whereas only 'quamash' is given earlier. I don't have a view or knowledge either way. If both are in regular use in the US, then this should be explained in the lead. Then I'd choose one for the rest of the article for consistency.

I'm in a rush right now, but I've never really experienced people using Quamash, i'll gather up some sources when i get home from work and see what i can sort out.

So, Daniel Mathews' Cascade-Olympic Natural History only uses "Camas", Gregory Tilford's Edible and Medicinal Plants of the West uses "Blue Camas", and Pojar & MacKinnon's Plants of the Pacific Northwest Coast uses "Common Camas". These are the three books I have on hand that mention the plant, though I'm not really sure how to determine what is common parlance, so the one to use for the article. Is there any kind of guideline for this?

I'm not sure there's an exact guideline; what people usually do is what you did: consult the 'standard' identification book(s) for the area and see what they use. Not being from your part of the world, I don't have a feel for how 'standard' the books you list are, but assuming that they are standard, I'd say you have enough evidence for the lead to mention both "camas" and "quamash" but then to use only "camas" thereafter.

Hitchcock's "Flora of the Pacific Northwest" uses Common Camas. Peter coxhead's suggestion is sensible.
