Endemic to Tennessee, USA, this trillium is now regarded as rather rare and endangered in the wild. However, it is becoming more common in cultivation.

I'm not sure why this plant is labeled "ill-scented" as it has a fruity scent to me - like mangoes.

This is a tall robust variety of trillium that carries the flower below the leaves. It usually has dark purple ovary and stamens though sometimes the ovary is white.
