NOTES ON BRITISH EUPHRASIAS 175 



readily caducous. Spike very dense above and never much elongated, 

 with the imbricated floral leaves more or less covering the fruiting 

 calyces. Calyx clothed like the foliage, with lanceolate teeth, scarcely 

 accrescent in fruit. Corolla small, 5-7 mm. long (5 mm. in British 

 form) along the back, white, streaked with violet and with a yellow 

 spot in the throat ; lower lip but little exceeding the upper, with 

 narrow, emarginate lobes. Capsule oblong-ovate, truncate or slightly 

 retuse, nearly equalling the calyx or slightly exceeding it, usually 

 shorter than its floral leaf, margin long-ciliate. 



E. Mrtella is readily distinguishable from all other British Eye- 

 brights, except H. Bostkoviana Hayne and E. Vigursii F. H. Davey, 

 by the long, flexuous glandular hairs that usually abound on its stem, 

 leaves and calyx. E. Bostkoviana, which is furnished with similar 

 but sometimes less abundant hau*-clothing, is generally a widely 

 different plant. Considering its usually larger size, it is of slenderer 

 habit. Its stem is ascending rather than erect, flexuous rather than 

 strict, and though not much branched, yet clearly more so than in 

 E. hirtella. Its corolla is very much larger, commonly 9-11 mm. in 

 length, with the lower lip conspicuously longer and broader than the 

 upper one and the tube eventually elongating. Its capsule, also, 

 differs in being broader, more elliptical in form, and generally dis- 

 tinctly emarginate. 



E. Vigursii is normally still slenderer than most of the forms of 

 E. Bostkoviana, with smaller foliage clothed with proportionately 

 shorter and less unequal glandular hairs, and the corolla and capsule 

 as in E. Bostkoviana, except that the former is commonly violet in 

 colour instead of white. 



E. campestris Jordan can hardly be confounded with E. Tiirtellay 

 being a slender, much branched plant, with small, narrow leaves 

 clothed with shorter glandular hairs, and very large corollas with 

 elongating tube. 



I have placed Llanberis examples of E. Mrtella in the National 

 Herbarium.
