Trillium recurvatum, the prairie trillium,[3] toadshade,[4] or bloody butcher,[5] is a species of perennial herbaceous flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae.[3][5] It is native to parts of central and eastern United States, where it is found from Iowa south to Texas and east to North Carolina and Pennsylvania.[5][6] It grows in mesic forests and savannas, often in calcareous soils.[7][8] It is also known as bloody noses,[3] red trillium,[9] prairie wake-robin,[4] purple trillium,[10] and reflexed trillium,[11] in reference to its reflexed sepals.[11][10] T. recurvatum is a host plant as well as food source for several insects and mammals.[12][13][14]
