name Tor the mower, viola, wncn is al
so the name of the genus. The specific
names refer to the habitat. to the shape
of the leaves, to the color of the bloom.
or some other characteristic of growth.
The dear little white violet ". blanda)
the beautiful Canada violet. (V. Cana
dcnsis,) the downy yellow violet, ". pubes-
oeus.) and the more common blue viol IT'S,
(V. obliqua, V. palmata. V. sororia. V.
ovata) are all to be found in great album
dance here. IT may be mentioned in pass
ing that the Canada violet we'll repays
culture in the garden, and with little
care the seeds of this wildling are easily
gathered.
The name wake Robin" was bestowed
on the Triliums because the blossoms
were supposed to come Just before the
robins made their appearance. This, like
many other names, Is more poetical than
appropriate. The generic name Trillum
was given because of the leaf, which is In
three parts.
Erythronium Americandum Is commonly
known at Yellow Adder's Tongue. Trout
Lily and Dog-tooth Violet. Why the lat
ter name was bestowed upon this plant
IL is indeed hard to understand. There is
no likeness to violet anywhere about
1t, nor can one discover any resemblance
to dogs tooth, so this certainly Is n
name to be dropped from use As the
plant often grows on the banks of trout
of trout fishing, and the leaves are cur
iously mottled in a way that one might
fancy rescmbled the markings Of n trout.
the name Trout Lily" is very approp
riate. for the plant is a true lily. Tho
name 'Adders tongue" is not easy to ac
count for after the plant is full grown.
for then the notified leaves suggest an
adder's skin rather than It's tongue. but if
one sees the tiny furled leaves as they
first poep above the ground, very little
imagination is required to see the resen-
tIance to a snakes tongue. yellow" is
used to DISTINGUISH this species from tho
white Addcr's tongue which grows in the
middle West The generic name Fry
chromium means red and aludcs to the
color of a European species.
Frngcd Milkwort. Fringed Polygala
rloworing Wintcrgrcen and Gay Wings
arc the common names for Polyrala pau
cifolia, the dainty little purple flower
found in the moist woods in Nav. rho
name Polvrala is from the Greek. and
means "mtch milk" because it was sup
posed that cattle that fed on the plants
cave more milk than others. This super
stition accounts for the name milkwort.
The word "fringed" is added to dstin-
euish this species from the other milk
worts. and refers to the fine fringe that
tips tho crest Of the corolla Gay Wings"
refers to the two large sepals which are
either side OF the corolla. The leaves of
