Trillium viridescens, the tapertip wakerobin[2] or Ozark trillium, is a spring-flowering perennial plant found in parts of Arkansas, Missouri, Oklahoma,[3] Kansas, Texas and Louisiana.[4] It usually grows in rich deciduous forests and mountain ranges[5] where the soil is clayey and calcareous. The flower usually has bi-colored petals — purplish[6] near the base and green above — which stand upright at the junction of the three leaves. The species is 2 feet (0.61 m) high.[5]
