TROLLIUS, the GLOBE FLOWER, or Lucken Gowany; a genus of the polygonia order, belonging to the polyandria class of plants. There are two species; of which the most remarkable is the europæus, a native of the northern countries of Europe. The leaves are divided first into five segments down to the base; the segments are again divided, each about half way, into two or three lobes, which are sharply indented on the edges. The stalk is a foot high, and scarcely branched: the flower is yellow, globose, and specious. It grows at the foot of mountains, and by the sides of rivulets. The country people in Sweden strew their floors and pavements on holidays with the flowers, which have a pleasant smell, and are ornamental in gardens.
