Description:
The three leaves of Trillium tschonoskii emerge as a "whorl" & look very much like a propeller whirligig, though they soon straighten out into a more typical trillium leaf-set. Asthey mature, the leaves become fully round. The majority of trillium species have pointed leaves, so Tschonoski's trillium stands out as quite different with its set of circular leaves.
The flowers are hermaphrodite (have both male and female organs) and are pollinated by Insects. The plant prefers light (sandy), medium (loamy) and heavy (clay) soils and requires well-drained soil. The plant prefers acid, neutral and basic (alkaline) soils. It can grow in full shade (deep woodland) semi-shade (light woodland) or no shade. It requires moist soil.
Forests, moist places along ravines, shady and rocky places on hillsides。
Species
Trillium tschonoskii Maxim.
Family
Melanthiaceae
Drug actions in TCM
Quicken the blood, stanch bleeding, disperse swelling, relieve pain, dis[el wind, eliminate dampness. Often used to treat hypertension, headache, neuroasthenia, dizziness, injuries from falls.
