LILY-OF-THE-VALLEY FAMILY 123 
In the White Trillium the flower-stalk is from 
one to two inches long. The flower consists of 
three green, sharply pointed sepals, three large 
white petals, six stamens with greenish white 
filaments and yellow anthers, and a central pistil 
having three well developed stigmas. The petals 
PAINTED TRILLIUM 
are quite long, so that the flower is deeper and 
more bell-like than those of the other species of 
the genus. Like the other Trilliums this one is 
a lover of rich moist woods. It ranges as far 
north as Quebec and Minnesota and as far south 
as Florida and Missouri. It seems to be seldom 
found in the more eastern states.
