Trillium stamineum*

A fantastic and rarely offered species found mostly along the border between Alabama and Mississippi, a member of the sessile group but with the petals flattened horizontal and twisted like a propeller, (unlike the author who is just plain twisted), the stamens are large and erect and eye-catching, not to mention nose catching with a strong carrion scent. Note that the woodlanders marked with an * ship either early to mid march or summer dormant.
