Love Apple. Lilii'treii'. Everyone who knows and loves a Trillium will he interested in the Herb Paris, which differs from a Trillium in having its floral parts in 4's instead iif 3's. There are about 8 species alto- gether, and in some of them the floral parts are in higher numbers than four. They resemble Trilliums in being small, hardy, rhizomatous plants, found in moun- tainous countries of the north temperate zone, and even in the arctic regions. Also they have a single whorl of Ivs. at the top of the scape and a single flower, but in Paris the outer perianth segments are more herba- ceous and calyx-like, while the inner ones are much narrower and less showy, being mere strips of petal or even entirely absent. The name Paris is an interesting one. The berry of the plant is compared to the apple of discord, while the four leaves surrounding it are likened to Paris and the three envious goddesses, Juno, Minerva and Venus. Others think the name is derived from par, equal, refer- ring to the agreement in number between leaves and floral parts. quadrifdiia, Linn. Herb Paris. True Love. Heigh
