MiMULUS Ll'TEUS, L. There are sonie thirty or forty sheets of Mimulus, labelled 31. luifm, in our her])arium.

Trillium ghandiflohum, Salish. Monstrosities of this species are not uncommon in South Western Ontario, a tine series in our herbarium having been received from Mr. J. Dearne.ss, London, Ont.; Mr. W. Cameron, Niagara, Ont. : Mr. J. M. Uick.son, Hamilton, Ont., and Mr. Wm. Scott, Toronto, Ont. Mr. Dickson, after studying in the field the different forms found in the vicinity of Hamilton, sent me the f(dlo\ving notes : — " A few years ago several green flowered Trilliums were observed growing in a Hat piece of woods on the banks of the Waterdown Creek, near this city. To .see if they were ])ersistent and not merely sports of a season, T visitod the locality during the latter part of May, 1897, and, upon a clo.se inspection, found several remarkable forms not previously noted. Some of these iUay be described as behnv : — " 1st. Several with white edgings and markings on sepals. The most remarkable of these had one sepal green, one half green arid half white and the L'nird pure white, while both sepals and petals were inserted in a distinct spiral on the axis ; the leaves were normal. '■ 2nd. Leaves and sepals normal. Petals marked with green lines or bands toward the base. " Hrd. Leaves and sepals normal. I^etals green, with a narrow white margin. " 4th. Leaves distinctly petiolate. Petioles one to three inches long: sepals white, with a green stripe down the midrib.

It was found on Navy Island, Niagara Piver, by Mr. Cameron in 1896. He transplanted it, and last summer two Howers were produced, each with 21 petals. Mr. Cameron also reports a double yellow-flowered dwarf specimen from Niagara Falls, but this is probably some other species.
