Pistil: Germen ovate, three-lobed, with two prominent 

 angles at the margin of each lobe, purplish-green. Styles 

 linear-obtuse, purple without, yellow within. 



In the month of January of the present year, our Botanic 

 Garden of Glasgow was enriched with a box of rare plants, 

 packed in Sphagnum, from Augusta, in Georgia, communi- 

 cated by our valued correspondent, Dr. Wray, of Augusta, 

 the intimate friend of the late Stephen Elliott, Esq. With 

 very few exceptions, these plants, on account of the ex- 

 cellent mode in which they were packed, have succeeded 

 perfectly well, and among them, the new Trillium, here 

 figured, flowered vigorously in May of the present year, 

 1831, having been treated as an inmate of the greenhouse. 

 I have retained the name which was attached to the plant, 

 and which was probably given to it by Dr. Wray himself, 

 in consequence of the great difference in the color of its 

 flower from that of Trillium sessile, with which it agrees 

 in the sessile leaves and sessile and erect flowers, but 

 from which it is strikingly different, no less in the broadly 

 ovate petals, than in their peculiar, pale greenish-yellow 

 hue, which also exhale a smell, resembling the American 

 Allspice. 



This species grows freely in a mixture of peat and loam, 

 and will probably prove as hardy a perennial as other 

 species of this Genus have shown themselves to be with us.
