Trillium erectum, the red trillium,[4] also known as wake robin,[5]purple trillium,[6]bethroot,[7] or stinking benjamin,[8] is a species of flowering plant in the familyMelanthiaceae. The plant takes its common name "wake robin" by analogy with the European robin, which has a red breast heralding spring. Likewise Trillium erectum is a spring ephemeral plant whose life-cycle is synchronized with that of the forests in which it lives. It is native to the eastern United States and eastern Canada from northern Georgia to Quebec and New Brunswick.
