A quick Google search shows that it is a monotypic genus from Australia,
placed variously in the Convallariaceae, Colchicaceae, or Uvulariaceae. The
one species is T. cunninghamii. One local name is bush lily. One map I saw
seemed to show a widely disjunct distribution: one population in far
northern Australia and another larger area of distribution in eastern
Australia. There are images on the web - just Google a bit.
When you search, check your spelling. In your subject line you used
Tripladenia, in the body of your message you used Triplandenia. Tripladenia
is in ipni.
