Trillium maculatum, the spotted wakerobin[2] or spotted trillium, is a plant species found only in the eastern United States (Alabama, Georgia, South Carolina, North Carolina, Tennessee, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, and northern Florida).[1][3][4][5]
Trillium maculatum is called "spotted" because of irregular dark splotches on the leaves and stems. Flowers are usually deep red or reddish-purple but occasionally yellow.[6]
