Trollius (old German, trol, something round; trollblume, in allusion to the shape of the flowers). Ranunculaceae. Globe-flower. A group of neat hardy herbaceous perennials of a dozen or more species, mostly found in moist or marshy places of the North Temperate zone; useful in garden borders.

Roots fibrous, thickened: lvs. palmately divided or lobed: fls. large, solitary, whitish, yellow, golden yellow, or purplish, those in cult. usually yellow- or orange-fld.; petals 5 to many, small, unguiculate, with a nectariferous pit at the base of the blade; sepals 5-15, large, usually constituting the showy part of the fl.; stamens many; carpels 5 to many, sessile, many-ovuled: follicles in a head.—Very like Ranunculus in general appearance, but distinguished at once by bearing follicles rather than achenes. For monograph, see Huth, in Helios ix. (Berlin), 1892; and for the Eastern Asian species, Finet & Gagnepain, Contrib. Fl. As. Or. 1: 136-139; also in Bull. Soc. Bot. France 51:393-396 (1904).

Trolliuses are grown for the beauty of their globular flowers and show of dark green leaves. They are suited to wet sunken gardens, wild borders, and edges of water-gardens, although in a good garden soil not lacking in moisture they do well. They may be increased either by seeds or by dividing the old plants; but the young plants grow slowly at first, and will not flower before the second season from seed. The usual globe-flower of the horticulturist is T. europaeus, with incurving sepals so that the flower has a ball-like appearance; in most of the species the sepals spread nearly or quite horizontally. They bloom in spring and early summer.

T. aurantiacus, Hort., described as lemon-yellow: probably a form of T. europaeus.—T. Excelsior, Hort., and T. hybridus, Hort., with deep orange fls., are probably T. europaeus forms.
