trillabubt (trilabub)

See trillibub. trill an do (tril-lan'dō), a. [It., ppr. of trill are, trill: see trill2.] In music, trilling. presented by the colored petals and prominent green sepals is an unusual one in the order, but it disappears in T. Govanianum and in T. viridescens (now esteemed a variety of T. se ile ), in which the perianth-segments are all colored alike. They are known by the generic name, and as three-leafed nightshade, the white species also as wake robin, white bath, birthroot, and in the West as wood - lily. T. erectum, the purple trillium, a strong-scented species, is also known locally as Indian balm, Indian shamrock, and nose-bleed. Of the 7 species in the northeastern United States, 3 produce white and 3 dull-purple flowers; in one, T. erythrocarpum, the painted trillium, the white petals are beautifully marked with deep-red lines. Two species of North Carolina, T. pusillum and T. stylosum, bear respec tively flesh-colored and rose-colored flowers. The large handsome white petals turn rose-color in T. grandiflorum of the Eastern and Central States, and in its Californian representative, T. ovatum; in other species they commonly turn greenish. T. se ile, the only species extending acro the continent, is remarkable for its closely se ile flower; T. cernuum, for its nodding peduncle; and T. petiolatum, of Oregon, for its extremely short stem. See cuts under rhizome and wake - robin. 2. [ l. c.] A plant of the above genus. A very pretty flower which we began to meet well up on the mountain-side was the painted trillium , the petals white, veined with pink. J. Burroughs, The Century, XXXVI. 613. Trillium family, a group of liliaceous plants including Trillium , formerly cla ed as an order Trilliaceæ , now as a tribe Medeoleæ.
