all the other parts in threes, one stamen more or less petaloid, 
and the ovary 1-celled with three parietal placentae. 
A specimen of 7. undulatum in Mo. Bot. Gard. Herb., col- 
lected by Dr. J. M. Greenman at Mt. Mansfield, Vt. (Plants 
of Vermont, No. 1253), 2-4 July, 1897, has a whorl of 4 leaves. 
There are apparently 4 sepals and 4 petals in the flower, but 
the number of stigma lobes is 3. 
Deane, W. Rhodora 12: 163-166. 1910. 
In this record Mr. De Meritte examined in 1909 the same 
spot visited in the two previous years. He found (a) 3 plants 
having 3 whorls of 3 leaves each, separated by internodes, and 
a perfect flower; (b) 1 plant having 2 whorls of 3 leaves each 
and a double flower. One of the plants in (a) was collected 
and carefully described by Mr. Deane. Two of the leaves in 
the uppermost whorl had a lobe on one side, while the third 
was notched; the ovary was 1-celled with 3 parietal placentae. 
The plant (b) possessed 3 sepals, 6 petals; of the latter, two 
in the outer row had a broad green band running down the 
center, the third a narrow light green line down the center, 
and the rest were normal in color; ovary 2-celled. 
А specimen of T. erectum, collected at Glen Road, N. H., 
is described. The parts were as follows: a whorl of 4 leaves; 
9 sepals green with an edging of maroon, 2 also streaked with 
maroon; 4 petals and a vacant space for the fifth; 8 stamens, 
1 with the anther partly doubled; ovary 8-winged, 1-celled. 
Deane, W. Rhodora 13: 189-191. 1911. 
A specimen of Т. ovatum Pursh, collected by Mr. W. T. 
Putnam at Lake Cushman, Wash., had 24 petals in regular 
alternating cycles of 3 each, pink and white instead of purple, 
no stamens or pistil. Deane also cites Prof. Wm. R. Dudley,! 
who obtained from Woodwardia Swamp Woods a double T. 
grandiflorum having about 14 parts to the perianth. 
In a collection of rootstocks of T. grandiflorum var. 
parvum, from Exeter, N. H., which were dug up in 1914 and 
which were potted and bloomed at the Missouri Botanical
