The most striking peculiarities of this species are its slender 
and usually tall (1-4 dm.) stem, leaves lanceolate or elliptic 
and strongly blotched, petals linear or linear-oblong, clawed, 
and filaments as long as the more or less incurved anthers. 
It is most nearly related to T. recurvatum. 
Moist woodlands and river bottoms, Georgia to Alabama 
and Louisiana. 
11a. Var. rectistamineum Gates, n. var. 
Several sheets in the Chapman Herbarium (Mo. Bot. Gard. 
Herb.) with the number 3869, but without locality, agree with 
T. lanceolatum in foliage except that the leaves are larger 
(8-10 em. long) and have much shorter (about 10 em.), stouter 
stems. They differ from 7. lanceolatum conspicuously in the 
petals, which are broadly lanceolate, tapering at the base but 
not clawed, 4 em. long, 18 mm. wide, and dark purple. The 
sepals are lanceolate, larger than in 7. lanceolatum, 3 cm. 
long, 1 cm. wide. The anthers are straight, purple, 2 mm. 
wide, 9 mm. long, filaments short; the ovary large (8 mm.), 
styles spreading and recurved. This plant, no doubt, consti- 
tutes a distinct species, differing from 7’. lanceolatum espe- 
cially in the petals, anthers, and ovary, but as the specimens 
available are without locality and only one shows a complete 
flower, it seems desirable merely to designate this form as 
above indicated. 
The following specimens probably belong to this variety, 
although the essential flower characters are not exhibited: 
Aspalaga, Fla. March, 1897, Herb. Chapman, two speci- 
mens; Aspalaga Bluff, Gadsden Co., Fla. March 8, 1909,
