Plants of New Hampshire: Painted Trillium
Luke and I found Trillium undulatum Willd. growing on a rocky, forested slope in the Purgatory Falls area of New Hampshire. A study by Zeter et al. (2001) indicates that the seeds of T. undulatum in North Carolina and South Carolina are dispersed by yellow jackets. What an interesting seed disperser! I wonder if the same insects disperse the seeds in New Hampshire. This plant is in the family Melanthiaceae.
