WILD FLOWERS WHITE AND GREENISH 
veined, and toothless. The large, waxy-white, solitary 
flower is borne on a short stem that springs upright 
from the centre of the leaves. The three thin, broad, 
strongly veined, and long-pointed petals are larger and 
much longer than the three spreading, green, lance- 
shaped sepals, and they turn outward with a large grace- 
ful curve. They are scentless, and as they age they 
become pink. The single berry is nearly black when 
matured. This showy-flowered Trillium ranges from 
Canada to Florida, and west to Minnesota and Missouri. 
NODDING WAKE-ROBIN 
Trillium cérnuum. Lily Family. 
The fragrant white or pink flower of this common 
Trillium droops on its short, curving stem until it nods, 
usually below the whorl of very broad leaves, where 
it is quite hidden from view. The stalk is rather 
slender, and grows from eight to twenty inches high, 
in the shade of rich, moist woods. The petals of the 
rather large flower are tapering and wavy-edged, and 
are rolled prettily backward. The calyx is light green, 
and the nodding, egg-shaped fruit is red-purple when 
ripe. The flower blossoms from April to June and 
may be found from Nova Scotia to Ontario, and Minne- 
sota and south to Georgia and Missouri.
