A few more treasures from my hike this past weekend in Core Arboretum. I’ve posted detailed descriptions of these ephemerals in the past. So if you want to learn more about these wildflowers, go to my main blog page and search on the plant's common name.  You’ll also be rewarded with higher resolution photos.  :-)

From top: sessile trillium (Trillium sessile); dwarf larkspur (Delphinium tricorne); twinleaf (Jeffersonia diphylla); Virginia bluebells (Mertensia virginica); Virginia spring beauty (Claytonia virginica); harbinger of spring (Erigenia bulbosa); cutleaf toothwort (Cardamine concatenata); Dutchman’s breeches (Dicentra cucullaria); yellow trout lily (Erythronium americanum); and great white trillium (Trillium grandiflorum).

A Smile of a Mondate

In case you are missing snow, I thought I’d bring you some today. But only because about a month ago, the day after Palm Sunday and a major snowstorm here in the north country, My Guy and I went to Diana’s Baths in Bartlett, New Hampshire, to hike. It was the first of two storms in a matter of less than two weeks that dropped almost two feet of snow each and transformed Lucy Brook into a winter…

Prairie Trillium

Trillium recurvatum

These unique, dark trillium plants caught our eye while we were exploring woods in Jersey County, Illinois. This species usually has splotchy green leaves. dailybotany suggested these trillium plants may have upped their anthocyanin production in response to exposure to higher levels of solar radiation. There were a few of these trilliums with dark leaves in the general area, and it may have been a sunnier than usual spot in the understory of the forest there, so this theory makes sense. I still wonder if it's possible this small population carries a genetic mutation... I have explored many woods and never seen trilliums this dark. I love listening to different theories and learning new info.

Trillium recurvatum is native to much of the Mississippi River basin in the central / eastern United States. Eastern Ohio has a few populations, which are listed as potentially threatened by their DNR. There are also a couple isolated populations in North Carolina, but it's debated whether or not they were actually planted long ago. Its closest lookalike with overlapping range is trillium sessile; however, the sepals on s. recurvatum plants curve downward as the flower opens, and the stem is usually much shorter than on t. sessile. This species can grow in habitats ranging from floodplains, to mesic forests and mesic savannas. Often, they're found growing in calcareous soils or over calcium-rich rocks such as limestone.

Trillium cuneatum complex, Melanthiaceae.

The eastern sessile-flowered trilliums comprise ~8 species more or less circumscribed by the Trillium cuneatum complex. Within these species and between populations, morphology is variable and molecular genetic data are sparse. There are probably several cryptic taxa hidden among the southeastern US’ named endemics, but I’m not the person to ask about such things. Chapter 2 of Jayne Lampley's 2021 dissertation "A systematic and biogeographic study of Trillium (Melanthiaceae)" is worth a peek if you're into that.

T. cuneatum itself — equally called purple toadshade, little sweet Betsy, and bloody butcher; — is most common in my neck of the woods. Although yellow toadshade T. luteum doesn’t naturally occur here, cultivated specimens have escaped and intergraded in a few patches up and down the Piedmont. To the extent they co-occur, they do so in upland woods, preferentially under deciduous trees and in limestone soils. The pictures above are on less calcareous clays, but obviously that's no dealbreaker.

Small variation in Trillium spp.

Leaf modelling is a common species trait among the more common sessile trilliums. Variation in modelling is more common than that of non modelled foliage(most likely do to browsing selection of that trait). Floral color is a bit different, variation in color happens a bit less in Trillium spp. and while it occurs in enough frequency that you will probably stumble into floral variation on any walk through high quality habitat, its much less of an occurrence than variable modelling or height.

Trillium sessile forma luteum is a relatively common form of the normal red Trillium sessile, often misidentified as the much larger giant yellow sessile trillium Trillium luteum. 

As for our nodding tall friend here, Trillium flexipes, displays variability from common selective pressure in height rather than modelling. At first glance I actually thought the white one might be the white form of T. erectum due to the red color of the stigma, upon closer look the ovaries were not red though. Trillium flexipes forma roseum.

Trillium grandiflora is also known for a roseum form, however it’s often confused with it’s white fading to pink aging in the corolla. 

 Trillium flexipes and T. cernuum are a bit difficult to id without flower, stigma is much larger than the staminode filaments on T. flexipes where they are at the same level on T. cernuum. T. erectum is much easier, very erect, has a deep red ovaries', and has a fetid odor.
