Medeola (named after the sorceress Medea, for supposed medicinal virtues). Liliaceae. Indian Cucumber-root, from the taste of the edible root. One species, a native perennial herb with 2 whorls of lvs. and small not showy fls. It is offered by some dealers in native plants. Medeola is allied to Trillium, although not suggestive of it in looks. The fls. are umbellate in the upper whorl of lvs., the perianth-segms. all alike, colored and deciduous, stamens 6: fr. a dark, purple few-seeded berry. The Medeola asparagoides, Linn., of the older literature, is Asparagus asparagoides.
