T. macropoda.—A native of China and Japan, 2 to 3 ft. high, having oblong, pointed leaves 4 to 5 long, smooth above, downy beneath, and pale purple flowers in autumn spotted with blackish - purple {Bot. Mag. t. 6544 ; Gartenfl. t. 313). The variety known as albostriata has variegated leaves. T. pilosa. — A hairy Himalayan species 2 to 4 ft. high, with stem- clasping leaves 4 to 6 ins. long. The whitish flowers, with large deep purple spots appear somewhat earlier than those of the other species. {Bot. Mag. t. 4955; Fl. d. Serr. t. 1219.) TmLlilUM {trilix, triple; the leaves and parts of the flower being in threes). Nat. Ord. LUiacese.—^A genus of herbaceous perennials, having short thick root-stocks, and being remarkable for having the leaves and flowers arranged in threes. Such popular names as "American Wood Lily,"'"Indian Shamrock," and " Three - leaved Nightshade " have been applied to different species. The Wood Lilies—as the TrUliums are generally called in England—are excellent plants for partially shaded spots in the rock-garden, or in the flower-border. They flourish in a deep well - drained peaty soU that holds sufficient moisture for their roots during the summer months. To obtain fresh plants, the root-stocks may be carefully divided in autumn or early spring, but it is better to leave the plants undisturbed when once nicely established. They are all natives of N. America. T. cemuum.—This species grows about 18 ins. high, and has broadly rhomboidal leaves 2 to 6 ins. long. The drooping white flowers appear
