St. John in 1881. 
LIMOSELLA AQUATICA L., var. TENUIFOLIA (Wolf) Pers., which has 
long been on the unverified list as a Maine plant, occurs in brackish 
mud with Lophotocarpus spongiosus, Samolus floribundus, etc. along 
Winnegance Creek, Phippsburg, Maine. Limosella was reported by 
Goodale from Scarboro in 1862 (Proc. Portland Soc. Nat. Hist., i. 
pt. 1, 57) but no specimens from that station are extant. 
EurHRAsiA Ranpit Robinson, var. Fartowi Robinson. At 
the type locality (Dog Island, near Eastport, Maine) and near the 
light house at the tip of West Quoddy Head, Lubec, this plant seemed 
to be specifically distinct from the commoner E. Randi. The latter 
plant had larger smoother leaves, and the crimson corollas were yellow 
or yellowish-green in the throat; while in the var. Farlowi, with 
smaller and thicker densely hirtellous leaves, the more crowded flowers 
had the white corollas striped with purple, but without the yellow 
throat. Upon studying a large series of specimens, however, from 
Newfoundland, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and Maine, these characters 
were all found to vary to such an extent that they seem at best only 
varietal. 
EUPHRASIA AMERICANA Wettst. is ordinarily a coastal species but 
it was found in sterile soils as far up the St. Croix Valley as we explored, 
at Princeton, Maine, and later in New Limerick in southern Aroostook 
County, Maine. This latter station and one on slaty open soil at 
Oldtown, Maine, are exceptionally far inland. 
RamantHus CmisrA-GaLL: L. The common American plant 
treated as R. Crista-Galli in the 7th edition of Gray’s Manual has the 
stems (in living plants at least) black-lineolate, and the teeth of the 
upper lip of the corolla bluish or violet. ‘This form of the species is 
recognized by European students of the genus as a well-marked variety, 
var. FALLAX (Wimmer & Grab.) Druce, Fl. Berks. 384 (1897) based 
upon Alectorolophus minor, B fallax Wimmer & Grab. Fl. Siles i. 
pt. 2, 213 (1829). It has by some recent authors been known as 
Alectorolophus minor, var. vittulatus Gremli, Excursionsf. für die 
Schweiz ed. 4, 320 (1881). True R. Crista-Galli, as interpreted by 
recent European authors, lacks the black striations on the stem and 
the violet coloring in the upper lip. This plant was collected on Great 
Diamond Island in Portland Harbor by Messrs. Bissell and Wiegand, 
July 5th, and should be watched for elsewhere on our coast. From R.
