Summer flowers aerial, but their peduncles short and more or less 

 horizontal ; their capsules short and thick, not dotted. 



We have no doubt but that this list would be extended if the 

 necessary time could be spared for more careful examination of 

 our flora. 



Trillium Grandiflorum, Salisb. 



A few years ago several green-flowered Trilliums were observed 

 growing in a flat piece of woods on the banks of the Waterdown 

 Creek, near this city. To see if they were persistent and not mere- 

 ly sports of a season, I visited the locality during the latter part of May, 

 1897, and, upon a close inspection, found several remarkable forms 

 not previously noted. Some of these may be described as below : — ■ 



I St. Several with white edgings and markings on sepals. The 

 most remarkable of these had one sepal green, one half grean and 

 half white and the third pure white, while both sepals and petals 

 were inserted in a distinct spiral on the axis ; the leaves were normal. 



2nd. Leaves and sepals normal. Petals marked with green 

 lines or bands toward the base. 



3rd. Leaves and sepals normal. Petals green, with a narrow 

 white margin. 



4th. Leaves distinctly petiolate. Petioles one to three inches 

 long; sepals white, with a green stripe down the midrib. Petals 

 narrowed, lanceolate, white, with broad green band in centre, 

 running from base, and terminating near the apex. 



5th. Leaves as in No. 4. Sepals normal. Petals obovate. 

 Apiculate long clawed, with broad green centres and white margins. 



6th. Leaves ovate, long acuminate, petioled. Petioles ascend- 

 ing, widely spreading, seven inches long, inserted about two inches 

 above the root stock and six or seven inches below the flower. 

 Sepals normal. Petals green, with white margins. 



All the flowers seem to be perfect, some having a sterile 

 fi'ament, which might be due to accident.
