Trillium gracile, commonly known as the Sabine River wakerobin,[3] slender trillium,[4] or graceful trillium,[5] is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae. It is native to the region along the Sabine River in western Louisiana and eastern Texas .[6] It generally grows in mature pine and hardwood forests, and on riverbanks.[7][8]
Trillium gracile is a perennial herbaceous plant that spreads by means of underground rhizomes. The stem has 3 bracts in a whorl well above ground, each bract up to 8.5 cm (3.4 inches) long, the blades green mottled with darker green splotches. Flowers are solitary on each scape, purple with a musty-like fragrance.[4][9][10]
