The single flower of this plant has no stalk and is thus referred to as a sessile flower. One group of our Trilliams has such sessile flowers and the other group has flowers on short stalks or pedicels. The erect petals are about 2 inches long; the leaves up to 4 inches wide. These native perennials, distributed throughout the southeastern states, are infrequent in the deciduous woods of the mountains and piedmont. March - April [Justice, William S. and Bell, C.
