stripe down the center of the petals; the other having similar 
petals and enlarged foliaceous sepals but no whorl of leaves.

T. grandiflorum var. variegatum is described. It differs 
chiefly from the species in having a greenish stripe down the 
center of the petals, which are typically obovate-mucronate, 
leaves long-petioled, broadly ovate, acuminate, and ovary 
green. It was found to occur commonly every year and to 
be well distributed. It is very variable in shape of petals, 
length of petioles, etc., and the stem also may be leafless or 
the calyx enlarged to form leaves. 
This remarkable condition of Т. grandiflorum has since 
been found and studied in a number of localities, though it 
has not usually been known under the name var. variegatum.

At Cincinnati, Ohio, was found a specimen of Т. sessile 
which was pentamerous—5 leaves in a whorl, 5 sepals, 5

having an anther on one side.

At Ripon, Wis., a plant of T. сегпиит L. was discovered 
with one of the sepals replaced by a leaf, and two of the petals 
with a green stripe through the center.
