or sometimes pink, rarely отееп,! (3) the berry red, becom- 
ing black. T. grandiflorum also differs from the two western 
species in having the stigma lobes erect, spreading or conni- 
vent, much exceeded by the stamens. Another interesting 
feature is the unilocular ovary, referred to by Salisbury and 
eonfirmed by Rendle, who also quotes Mr. Smith of Newry 
to the effect that there are two very similar forms of T. 
grandiflorum, one of which grows in bogs and the other in 
dry soil. Compared with T. erectum, the ovary of Т. grandi- 
florum is much smaller and white, though deeply six-lobed as 
shown in Salisbury's plate.

This remarkably variable condition of T. grandiflorum was 
deseribed by Smith from Michigan and has been redescribed 
many times since. It is partieularly common in southwestern 
Ontario, in the Don Valley and elsewhere, and Buffalo and 
Syracuse, №. Y. (See variation of Trillium, р. 72.) In size 
it appears to be constantly smaller than T. grandiflorum 
typica and to agree with var. parvum.

I have recently had the opportunity of studying living 
plants of a variety of T. grandiflorum obtained by the Mis- 
souri Botanieal Garden from Exeter, New Hampshire, where 
a quantity of the rootstocks were dug up in 1914 by L. E. 
Williams. They differ from the type of T. grandiflorum in 
nothing except their constantly smaller size and in the fact 
that they begin to turn pink very soon after opening. Their 
deseription is as follows: 
1A specimen of T. grandiflorum with yellow petals has been reported from 
Galt, Ontario. (Am. Bot. 12:83. 1907.)
