Paris polyphylla in Sikkim?
« on: July 20, 2017, 05:15:53 PM »
I just returned from a trek in northern Sikkim.  I was told that this plant was Paris polyphylla, which confused me because it doesn't look like plants I'm familiar with.  Can anyone help?

Thank you.

Looks like Trillidium govanianum, maybe it has the same medicinal uses?

Thank you so much.  Yes, I think it is Trillidium govanianum.  It didn't look right for Paris polyphylla.  Its medicinal use explains why the bigger clump was dug out in the middle!
