Gardening -- Dictionaries; Plants -- North America encyclopedias. TRILISA closely related to Liatris. The species are autumu- blooining plants 2-3 ft. high, with numerous small flower-heads of purple or white. They differ from Lia- tris as follows: The roots are fibrous (those of Liatris being tuberous); the inflorescence is panicled instead of racemose or spicate, and the involucral bracts are in only 2 or 3 series, while those of Liatris are in many series.

Twenty years ago it was advertised by a Massachusetts dealer in native plants. It is mentioned in some Eng- lish books as a hardy plant, thriving in light soil and prop, by division or by seeds sown in autumn. It is more fully described in our native botanies. odoratissima, Cass. (Liatris odoratissima, Michx.). Vanilla Plant.
