Stem simple pedal, leaves linear lanceolate very 
long, longer than stem, 6 to 9 inches, flat and 
margin ciliate at the base. Umbel multiflore 
6-12flowers nodding, 2 foliose involucre flat 
subequal 3 to 4 inches long, peduncles and ca- 
lix pilose, flowers rather small, vernal in May. 
Roots perennial fasciculate. If a peculiar sp. 
it may be called Tr. ciliata.

lored flowers.
