Baie des Chaleurs, Quebec, and Cape Breton Island to Connecticut and 
southward (Philadelphia and Carolina, fide Kindberg); and apparently 
on the Pacific Coast. The following from among many specimens are 
cited as characteristic. QUEBEC: damp hollows in gravelly beach,

beach, Summerside, July 21, 1901 (J. R. Churchill). Nova Scotia: 
Baddeck, Cape Breton Island, July 18, 1883 (J. Macoun); near beach,

Dwarf plants with very short pedicels and small capsules, etc. were 
described by Watson as Buda marina, var. (?) minor, from the Tsles of 
Shoals and adjacent coast of New Hampshire. Similar dwarf plants 
have been collected on Cape Breton Island. Material collected at 
Guilford, Connecticut, by Mr. G. H. Bartlett has the bracts of S. 
leiosperma but the seeds papillose as in 5. salina. This is the only 
clearly transitional material found in the study of the species. 
TERATOLOGY IN TRILLIUM. 
WALTER DEANE. 
Turova the kindness of Mr. Edwin DeMeritte I have been 
enabled for the third time (See RHODORA, x. 21-24 & 214-216, 1908)

Trillium undulatum Willd. from his summer camp at Squam Lake, 
Holderness, New Hampshire. As I have previously stated, these 
plants were all growing in a very limited area, not more than two 
meters across “in the leaf-mould and scanty soil on a rocky ridge,”
