Beattie, Е. S. Rhodora 7: 40. 1905. 
A specimen of Т. undulatum Willd. from Gloucester, 
Mass., had two stems from one rootstock. One of the flowers 
had one of its sepals enlarged to 2 the length of ordinary 
leaves and the shape nearly that of a leaf. At Rowe Pond, 
Somerset Co., Me., twin stems in this species were found to 
be the rule.

World 9: 101-102. fig. 17. 1906. 
The following are described: 
One specimen of Т. sessile, with all stamens and carpels 
transformed into floral leaves, 14 in number.

**grown together,’’ partly or wholly, one half green, the other 
half colored (cf. Foerste). Similar observations were made
