Trillium (Accepted)

The trillium is a flower native to North America, with three large white petals atop a whorl of three sepals (hence its name).  As a New World flower, the trillium’s use was long considered a step from period practice.  However, as its form is similar to the charge known as the tierce-feuille, in the arms of von Buderich, c.1370 [Gelre 93], the trillium is now accepted without stigma.

The trillium is shown affronty by default, with a petal to base; it has no proper tincture in Society armory.
