Triodanis perfoliata, the clasping Venus' looking-glass[3] or clasping bellflower, [4] is an annual flowering plant belonging to the family Campanulaceae (bellflower family). It is an annual herb native to North and South America, the natural range extending from Canada to Argentina.
The genus name, from the Greek treis (three) and odous (tooth), alludes to the three lobes of the calyx in many of the non-opening flowers. This distinctive annual can appear in any open spot, even in cultivated flower gardens. It is sometimes placed in the genus Specularia.
Clasping-leaved Venus'-looking-glass probably gets its name from related European species that have larger seeds with shiny mirror-like surfaces. In this species, the seeds are quite small. The Cherokee used the root to treat dyspepsia from overeating.
