Trillium grandiflorum in the foreground and the smaller Thalictrum thalictroides in the background are both spring ephemerals of North American deciduous forests. An ephemeral plant is a plant with a very short life cycle or very short period of active growth, often one that grows only during brief periods when conditions are favorable.
Linnaeus referred to the description and picture of a plant in the Horti Malabarici as the plant for which the genus was created. [5] In 1753 he named this species as Ceropegia candelabrum. [6] Linnaeus did not explain the etymology but later explanations stated that the name Ceropegia was from the Greek [7] word keropegion κηροπηγɩον.

Corydalis solida, fumewort or bird-in-a-bush, [1] is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to moist, shady habitats in northern Europe and Asia. Growing to 25 cm (10 in), it is a spring ephemeral, with foliage that appears in spring and dies down to its tuberous rootstock in summer. It is cultivated for its deeply ...
Corydalis cava is a species of flowering plant in the family Papaveraceae, native to moist, shady, woodland habitats throughout most of mainland Europe, although commonest in central and southeast Europe. Its range extends from Spain in the west to Ukraine, Belarus and the Caucasus in the east and as far north as Sweden.
Plants whose life cycle is significantly less than the time of a growing season are deemed ephemeral. [37] Winter annuals, Epilobium and Senecio vulgaris are examples of ephemeral plants. [37] [38] The conditions for ephemeral plants are markedly present in deserts. [38] Animals can be ephemeral, with brine shrimp and the mayfly being examples.
Erythronium americanum, the trout lily, yellow trout lily, fawn lily, yellow adder's-tongue, or yellow dogtooth violet, is a species of perennial, colony forming, spring ephemeral flower native to North America and dwelling in woodland habitats.
It is an example of a spring ephemeral, a plant whose life-cycle is synchronized with that of the deciduous woodland which it favours. White trillium often occurs in dense drifts of many individuals. The G. Richard Thompson Wildlife Management Area in the Blue Ridge Mountains is renowned for an extensive stand of white trillium that blooms each ...
