Trout Lilies, also known as Adlers Tongue, along the Pequannock River in Newfoundland, New Jersey ( Erythronium americanum )

American Indians used a root tea made from the Trout Lily for fevers while a root poultice was used to remove splinters and reduce swelling. The leaves can cause a allergic reaction. Water extractions from the leaves have been found to be effective against gram positive and gram negative bacteria.*
