No listed varieties. (Now in the Family TRILLIACEAE the USDA still lists it in the Family LILACEAE),
also eFloras.org states: T. nervosum as a synonym of T. catesbaei.

Note the early blooming, nodding flower of recurved white, rose, or pink petals,
green with purple veining sepals and yellow anthers,three incurved lanced leaves.
Some authors say it is a white trillium that ages pink but these in SC are true pink.
This is also noted in eFloras.org.
Other aged trilliums show withered anthers.
These are quite healthy, and the petals are full pink very early within the blooming period.
