L., a small species with spotted leaves and sessile flowers of the 
same dark color as the typical form of Trillium erectum, L., and 
Trillium nivale, Riddell, a dwarf, with a peduncled white 
flower and petioled leaves. 
Other species not met with in New England are Erythronium 
albidum, Nutt., a very pretty plant, flowering before &. America- 
num, Smith; Stylophorum diphyllum, Nutt., a bright showy 
poppy growing in the woods, resembling Chelidonium majus, L.; 
flydrastis Canadensis, the “orange-root”, similar in its manner 
of growth to Podophyllum peltatum,; Uvularia grandifiora, 
Smith, bearing large bright yellow flowers ; Jeffersonia diphylla, 
Pers., the “‘twin-leaf”’, looking to a casual observer like a Sanguin- 
aria ; and Camassia Fraseri, Torr., the pale blue ‘wild hyacinth”. 
Polemonium reptans, L., grows abundantly in the woods, 
associated with Delphinium tricorne, Mich., and Mertensia Vir- 
ginica, DC..a richly colored member of the Borraginacee. Hy-— 
adrophyllum Virginicum, L., H. macrophyllum, Nutt., and 4H. 
appendiculatum, Mich,, occur. The last takes its name from the 
peculiar reflexed appendages between the parts of the calyx. 
Valeriana paucifiora, Mich., with pink flowers like miniature 
honey-suckles, is common in the deep woods. Its specific name 
is misleading, as it is not by any means few-flowered. : 
During the last week of May and the first week of June the 
hills are bright with patches of the crimson “fire pink”, Silene 
Virginica, L., associated with the pale lavender pink, Phlox di- 
varicata, L.., with which it forms a most pleasing contrast of 
colors. 
In the summer months the open fields are covered with 
Vernonia fasciculata, Mich., a species closely resembling V. Nove- 
boracensis, Willd., but having its involucre composed of blunt 
instead of awn-tipped scales. Another common plant in the fields 
which does not extend to New England is the beautiful Zapazo- 
rium (or Conoclinium) celestinum, L. 
Clematis viorna, L., the “leather flower’, is very common. 
It often grows in thickets associated with the common Menisper- 
mum, Smilax glanca,Walt., Smilax tamnotdes, L., and the delicate 
little passion flower, Passiflora lutea, L., a beautiful plant climbing 
among the blackberry and papaw bushes, by means of tendrils,
