GATES—THE GENUS TRILLIUM 55 
Specimens examined in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb: 
Tomassee Falls, Oconee Co., S. C., 5 May, 1896, Н. D. House 
2094, three specimens; homies of Bens Pond, Frendi Mt. (?), 
15 May, 1891, Herb. Chapman, three sheets. These speci- 
mens appear to run into 7. erectum. Southington, Conn., 30 
April, 1897, C. H. Bissell 211 (2685). This specimen extends 
considerably the range of Т. Vaseyt. 
Forma album House, Muhlenbergia 6: 73. 1910. 
This specimen, from Pigeon Gap, Haywood Co., N. C., has 
pure white petals, though the anthers and pistil are of the 
normal purple color. 
18. T. Rugelii Rendle, Jour. Bot. 39: 331. pl. 426, fig. B. 
1901. 
This plant agrees with T. erectum and Т. Vaseyt in leaf- 
shape and resembles the latter in its nodding peduncle. It 
differs from them in the petals, which are white, round-ovate, 
the same length and thrice the breadth of the sepals. The 
filaments are also only one-third the length of the anthers, 
which are purple. I have seen no specimens of this species. 
In the mountains of western North Carolina and northern 
Georgia. 
19. Т. simile Gleason, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 33: 391. 1906. 
This species differs from T. Виде in its **much longer 
stamens, yellow anthers and proportionately longer fila- 
ments’’ (4 as long as the anthers). 
Three localities near the border of North Carolina and 
Georgia. 
20. Т. declinatum (Gray) Gleason, Bull. Torr. Bot. Club 
33: 389. 1906. 
T. erectum var. declinatum Gray, Manual, ed. 5, 523. 1868. 
This species is apparently more nearly related to 7. cer- 
nuum than to Т. erectum. Unlike the latter species, it has а 
pleasant, not fetid, odor. From Т. cernuum it differs in the 
declined rather than reflexed peduncle, and in the petals,
