422 MONOGEAPH OF THE BRtTISH SPECIES OF EUPHRASIA. 



over 4 in. in height, with distant stem leaves, a few erect branches 

 from below the middle ; rotund, very obtuse leaves and bracts, the 

 middle and lower teeth obtuse patent, the lower teeth of the upper 

 bracts only, acute and decurved. The hairs on the leaves and 

 bracts are numerous, are many-celled and wavy ; but I could detect 

 no glands. 



I can now record that I have just received good specimens 

 of E. latifolia from Mr. Marshall, who again visited the north coast 

 of Scotland this year and was so fortunate as to find the plant iu 

 the three separate stations which I have given above. Mr. Marshall 

 sent specimens, from these stations, to Prof. Wettstein, who con- 

 firms the naming and calls the Bettyhill plant, forma (jrdndiflora 

 Wettst. The flowers in all the stations are white and the plants 

 are eglandular. Mr. Beeby remarked in a letter lately received that 

 "as the plant occurs in the Faroes, it certainly seems possible we 

 may get it in Britain ; still Shetland and all Britain come within 

 the 60-fathom line, but soon after we get north of Britain, the 

 soundings deepen immensely, so that Shetland is separated from 

 the Faroes by water 350 fathoms deep." On the other hand 

 E. boreaUs occurs in the Faroes and is frequent in Scotland. 



Prof. Wettstein adopts Pursh's name, though Pursh cites as his 

 plant from Labrador the E. latifolia Willd. (Spec. Plant. 3, p. 192), 

 which is Parentucellia latifolia L. and which does not occur in 

 Labrador, but is very like E. latifolia Wetfcs. If Parentucellia be 

 ever again united to Euphrasia, Euphrasia latifolia will require 

 another specific name. No other species of Euphrasia has been 

 found in Labrador.
