400 MONOGRAPH OF THE BRITISH SPECIES OF EUPHRASIA. 



special notice, viz. E. stricta Host, E. ericetonim Jord., and E. 

 nemorosa H. Mart. Jordan's name ericetonim, which is undoubtedly 

 Host's E. stricta, must give way on account of the priority of the 

 latter. E. nemorosa Host is described as a species further on. 



Prof. Wettstein's opinion that a parallel earlier flowering form 

 to E. stricta, having the same relation to it as E. montana to E. 

 Rostkoviana, exists, has been confirmed by the observations of 

 Dr. S. Murbeck, and he has named the plant E. Suecica Murb.
