Dear Dr# Smalls
In reply to your letter of April 9th c^oernlng Trillium
simile Gleason, this species is one I know i*ri description only,
I have never seen any white Trillium with pu^le ovary other
than T* ereaturn» Tar« album# In it* declined >£d^inolt, large
size and pleasant odor* T. s 1 mi 1»^jrtlBXbio very cloVe to T*
Vaseyi Harbison. I wonder If ^^nao th^/jbpreading, almost
saucer-shaped flower of T# Vaa#yi anereotumT I am very
sorry that through an oversight
my paper* It seems tc/methat
Trillium as yet unsolved.
I am muoh interfcited to noWthat in ytur Manual of the
Southeastern Flora you\^cg_ trgxyfag T» luteum as a form of T#
certainly in aoodrd with my idea of it, though
¡t is the best-marked color form I know of
ed Trilliums#
