This is the "Atragene Americana" of the following quotation from 

 O. W. Holmes's "Elsie Venner," Chapters VII and XII. 



"'Here, I brought this for you.' The doctor started as she handed 

 him a flower of Atragene Americana, for he knew that there was only 

 one spot where it grew, and that not one where any rash foot, least of 

 all a thin-shod woman's foot, should venture. 



"In the morning he [Bernard Langdon,the schoolmaster] happened 

 to be a little late in entering the school-room. There was something 

 between the leaves of the Virgil which lay upon his desk. He opened 

 it and saw a freshly gathered mountain flower. He looked at Elsie, 

 instinctively, involuntarily. She had another such flower on her 

 breast."
