NOTES ON TRILLIUM 329 



I have received a cultivated specimen from Mr. G. F. Wilson, 

 of Weybridge, queried " 3\ canadense,'' which, 1 think, represents 

 this variety; it has filaments five-sevenths to five-eighths the length 

 of the anthers, while the figure in the Bot. Mag. represents the 

 filaments about half the length of the anthers.

 I had separated as a very distinct form plants collected by Rugel in 

 the Smoky Mountains, Tennessee, which are evidently identical 

 with the plants recently described under the above name, "from 

 the high mountains of the Southern Alleghanies." They have a 

 robust stem, ovately-rhomboid leaves, large ovate purple petals, 

 and long slender anthers much exceeding the very short recurved 

 stigmas.

 of Pallas. 

 1/ We have several sheets of this plant in Pallas's herbarium in 



the National Collection ; a stout horizontal rhizome bears the stiff 

 straw-like remains of numerous withered peduncles surrounded by 

 the deeper brown scarious sheaths. The functional peduncles are 

 glabrous, 23-35 cm. long, and barely reach 4 mm. in diameter. 



Leaves rhombeo-rotundate, often with somewhat flattened base, 

 apex subacuminate (5-10 cm. long and nearly or quite as broad, 

 sometimes slightly broader than long) ; pedicel 1*5-6 cm. long, 

 erect or curving above. Sepals oblong-elliptical to oblong-ovate, 

 2-3-5 cm. long ; petals longer than the sepals, elliptical to ovate 

 or subobovate, blunt, pale-coloured, 2-5-nearly 4 cm. by 1 •3-2-2 cm. ; 

 stamens 12-17 mm. ; anthers three or more times as long as the 

 filament, not very much exceeding the short stigmas (3-5 mm.) ; 

 ovary pyramidal. 



I have also seen the following specimens : — 



Kam^chatka. Cook's third voyage; ad portum St. Petri & Pauli, 

 Liitk. ; Wright ; Adoltz. 



Korea. Bushell in Herb. Hance, no. 918. 



Amur. Maximowicz. Sachalin, Glehn. 



Japan. Hakodate, Maximowicz. 



We have no Canadian specimens of this form ; compared with 

 our American specimens it comes nearest T. Vaseyi Harbison, but 

 the latter is distinguished by its relatively longer stamens and 

 shorter stigmas. 



9. T. TscHONOSKii Maxim, in Melang. Biolog. xi. 863 (1883). 



Generally robust plants with leaves ovately rhombic to rotund 

 ^ rhombic and shortly acuminate, generally large in proportion to 

 the small flowers ; sepals and petals subequal ; stamens short, 

 filament and anther subequal, anthers about on a level with the 

 very short thick recurving stigmas. Berry succulent, globose, 

 filled with subreniform reddish brown seeds. 



Stem variable in length and thickness, 13-40 cm. by 3-8 mm. 

 maximum thickness ; leaves sessile to subsessile, 7-16 cm. long 

 by 5-3-15 cm. broad ; pedicel erect in flower and fruit, barely
