CATALOGUE OF PLANTS. 133 



V. peregrina, L. Purslane Speedwell. 



Dry places ; frequent. Flying Mt. (Henry C- Jones) ; — Nor- 

 wood Cove, etc. (Rand); — -Seal Harbor; Great Cranberry Isle; 

 Great Duck Island (Redfield); — Somesville (M. L. Fernald); 

 — mouth of Denning Brook (R. & R.). All plants small and 

 dwarfed, hardly branched, very unlike the common garden form 

 of this weed. 



V. ARVENSIS, L. CoKN Speedwell. 



Dryplaces; infrequent. High Head; Flying Mt. (Rand) ; — 

 Little Cranberry Isle (Redfield) ; — mouth of Denning Brook 

 (R. & R.); — Bar Harbor (Dr. H. C. Chapman). Appearing 

 indigenous here, but said to be naturalized from Europe. 



V. BuxBAUMii, Ten. 



Waste ground; rare. Norwood Cove (Rand). Adventive 

 from Europe. 



EUPHRASIA, L. Eyebeight. 



E. officinalis, L. 



Dry ground; common in the southern part of the Island, and 

 on the neighboring islands. Also Bar Harbor (W. H. Manning). 

 If introduced, of very early introduction, but probably indige- 

 nous. Very variable. A form from Sea Wall (Rand), having 

 extremely small flowers with corolla scarcely spreading, and 

 leaves less toothed and cut and more crenate, corresponds fairly 

 well to the description of var. Tatarica, Benth., but does not 

 agree with herbarium specimens. It appears to be intermediate 

 between E. curta, Fries, and E. gracilis, Fries. The species, 

 however, is so variable, and has been so subdivided, that it is 

 impossible to name with any certainty its subspecies and varie- 

 ties without a careful study of the type specimens. 



RHINANTHUS, L. Yellow Rattle. 

 R. Crista-galli, L. 



Common in fields and on roadsides. If introduced, of very 

 early introduction.
