Trillium crassifolium is a species of flowering plant in the bunchflower family Melanthiaceae. It is endemic to the Wenatchee Mountains in the U.S. state of Washington (state) .[2]
Description
Trillium crassifolium is similar to Trillium ovatum, differing from that species by having erect rhizomes, shorter petals, and thickish ovate (not rhombic) leaves.[3]
Taxonomy
Trillium crassifolium was described by Charles Vancouver Piper in 1899.[3] At the time, some authorities considered it to be a synonym for Trillium ovatum Pursh.[4]:395 More recently, T. crassifolium has been shown to be a distinct species based on molecular work.[1][better source needed]
