~Trillium Sessile. Sessile Trillium.~ _Class and Order._ ~Hexandria Trigynia.~ _Generic Character._ _Cal._ 3-phyllus. _Cor._ 3-petala. _Bacca_ 3-locularis. _Specific Character and Synonyms._ TRILLIUM flore sessili erecto. _Lin. Syst. Vegetab. p. 349._ PARIS foliis ternatis, flore sessili erecto. _Gron. virg. 44._ SOLANUM triphyllum. _Pluk. alm. 352. t. 111. f. 6._ _Catesb. car. t. 50._ [Illustration: 40] Of this genus there are three species, all of which are natives of North-America, and described by MILLER, in his _Gardener's Dictionary_, where the genus is called _American Herb Paris_; but as the _Paris_ and _Trillium_, though somewhat similar in the style of their foliage, are very different in their parts of fructification, we have thought it most expedient to anglicise _Trillium_, it being to the full as easily pronounced as _Geranium_, and many other Latin names now |
