Trillium erectum, the red trillium, [4] also known as wake robin, [5] purple trillium, [6] bethroot, [7] or stinking benjamin, [8] is a species of flowering plant in the family Melanthiaceae. The plant takes its common name "wake robin" by analogy with the European robin , which has a red breast heralding spring.
The flower is attractive, and it is often overlooked within the lush shiny foliage, but has a fish-like odor. [5] If the flower is ripe, the seed explodes out of the star-shaped fruit. This plant has a variety that can be produced in cultivation through selective breeding. Depending on the breeding, white flowers can be observed. [citation needed]
Devil's club or Devil's walking stick (Oplopanax horridus, Araliaceae; syn. Echinopanax horridus, Fatsia horrida) [2] is a large understory shrub native to the rainforests of the Pacific Northwest, but also disjunct on islands in Lake Superior. It is noted for its large palmate leaves and erect, woody stems covered in noxious and irritating spines.
The flowers are purple or magenta, rarely rose-pink, about 5 cm (2.0 in) wide. [10] The fruits are yellowish, tubercular like the stems, [10] and shaped something like the frustum of a cone, with a hollow at the wide end where the flower fell off; they are often mistaken for flowers. The plant retains them all winter.
