516. Trillium ovatum Pursh, Fl. 1, p. 245. In fruit. 



517. Trillium sessile L. var. ohloropetalum Torr. Bot. 

 "Whippl. p. 95. Mostly in fruit. 



518. Scoliopus Bigelovii Torr. Bot. Whippl. p. 89, t. 22. Foot- 

 hills of the Cascades, along mossy banks of streams. Copious speci- 

 mens of this most rare plant were collected, but past flowering, i. e. 

 the perianth and hypogynous stamens fallen : one or two specimens 

 fortunately have ripe fruit. The thin-walled pericarp appears to open 

 irregularly, not by any of the six sutural lines, but as it were between 

 them, or near the three stronger and seminiferous sutures ; and it would 

 seem that the walls at length vanish, leaving the placenta? like a re- 

 plum, sometimes united at apex by the persistent style, which is much 

 more distinct and slender than in Dr. Torrey's figure, more so indeed 

 than in Dr. Bigelow's specimens. The leaves also in the present spe- 

 cimens are smaller and narrower at base ; but there is probably no 

 specific difference. The characters of the fruit and seeds are ap- 

 pended.*

 Am. 2, p. 175, t. 190. 



520. Prosartes Hookeri Torr. Bot. Whippl. p. 88. In fruit ;

522. S. amplexifolius DC. Both species in fruit. 



523. Smilacina bifolia Ker ; the Pacific coast form, more like 

 the European than is our Eastern one.

 tween this and L. superbum.
