Trillium persistens, the persistent trillium, is a North American species of flowering plants in the genus Trillium of family Melanthiaceae (formerly Trilliaceae). The plant is also called the persistent wakerobin.[1][2]

Persistent trillium is an endangered herbaceous perennial plant that grows to a height of 20–30 cm, with three leaves in a whorl near the top of the stem just below the flower; each leaf is broad lanceolate, 3–9 cm long and 1.5–3.5 cm broad. The white flower has three petals, each petal 2–3.5 cm long and 0.5–1 cm broad.[3]

This plant has a limited range in parts of the United States in the northeastern Georgia and northwestern South Carolina.[4]
