A plant that should not be here, but this patch on the Trillium Trail has been expanding and now covers quite a bit of ground in the woods. Although this is generally a Midwestern plant, its range becomes spotty and discontinuous at its eastern extremity, and there are recorded stations east of us; so it is likely that this is just one of those discontinuous spots.

For a description of the species, see the Enemion biternatum reference page.

This species is not recorded in Pennsylvania in the usual sources. However, its range is discontinuous and spotty, and it is recorded in nearby sections of Ohio, as well as in the Virginia suburbs of Washington. At any rate, this colony along the Trillium Trail in Fox Chapel has been thriving for years.

Though this species is not recorded as established in Allegheny County, or indeed in Pennsylvania, this large patch has been flourishing for years along the Trillium Trail in Fox Chapel. (It is possible that it was introduced there, but it is certainly naturalized by now.)
