an inch long. Woods. Late summer.

egg-shaped, nearly an inch long with a suggestion of three blunt 
angles. Late summer.

A trillium with leaves having no stalks; berry an inch or 
under, rounded, somewhat six-angled. 
Sessile-flowered Wake Robin {Trillium sessile). Lily 
family. 
This berry has no stalk and is only about one-half inch m 
diameter. 
Nodding Trillium {Trillium cernuum). Lily family.

hangs down upon a curved stalk.
