444 EUPHRASIA SALTSBURGENSIS FUNK, NATIVE IN IRELAND. 



length the different forms or subspecies of Euphrasia found in the 

 British Islands, but I may take this opportunity of making a few 

 remarks on the notice, evidently written in haste, by Mr. Claridge 

 Druce in the August number of the Journal, and ah-eady alluded to. 

 He there says eleven species are "stated" by Prof. Wettstein to 

 be found in Britain. I will take in order those species I wish to 

 comment on, as enumerated by Mr. Druce. 



" E. brevifolia Burnat et Gremli." This name is evidently a 

 slip of the pen for E. hrevipila. The three localities given in the 

 Monograph are Trossachs, Foyers, and Oban. I have not seen 

 Trossachs specimens, but those from Foyers and Oban, collected 

 and communicated by me, are without doubt my E. horealis, and it 

 remains to be determined whether E. horealis is a distinct form, or 

 whether it should be referred to E. hrevipila. 



E. curta Fries. I am unable to refer either the plant from the 

 Freshwater Downs and St. Catherine's Cliff or the plant from 

 Moreton to this species. The plant from the two first stations I 

 believe to be an abnormal form of E. nemorosa Pers. pro var., due 

 to the influence of the sea and exposure which affect numerous 

 plants in the same locality, causing them to be very stunted and 

 tufted. 



E. latifolia Pursh. This species has not been found in Britain. 

 The Cumberland station given by Prof. Wettstein is in a high 

 northern latitude, and has no reference to the English county of 

 Cumberland. 



E. Kerneri Wetts. Mr. Druce says this " is given for Chelsham, 

 Croydon, by Bennett," which implies that Mr. Bennett named his 

 Chelsham plant E. Kerneri. This is not the meaning intended by 

 Prof. Wettstein in his Monograph, who says, "England: Chelsham, 

 near Croydon (Bennett, H. Towns.)," which implies that Mr. Ben- 

 nett's plant was communicated by me ; and the Professor adds 

 words to the effect that the two specimens from this locality which 

 I sent him as my E, UostJwviana v. macilenta quite represent his 

 E. Kerneri.
