Lanceleaf Trillium Bud (Trillium lancifolium)

Stevens Creek Heritage Preserve; McCormick County, SC

 

This plant is also known as Lanceleaf Wakerobin. It is a small trillium with a maroon blossom. It is found only in six southeastern states (TN, MS, AL, GA, SC, and FL). It is endangered in Florida and Tennessee. In South Carolina, the Nature Conservancy considers it an S1, which means that it is critically imperiled state-wide because of extreme rarity or because of some factor(s) making it especially vulnerable to extirpation.
