E. Rostkoviana occurs in the British Isles mostly at low altitudes 

 and in dampish ground. The species was named by Hayne after 

 Dr. Rostkovius who found it in the neighbourhood of Stettin and 

 sent it to Dr. Hayne as a distinct species. Dr. Hayne says, in 

 ArzneiLunde, that " E^iphrasia Rostkoviana is really very similar 

 to E. officinalis (Arzn. ix. t. 8) for which reason it has hitherto been 

 unnoticed, but it may with certainty be distinguished from it by the 

 following characters. The leaves are serrate, furnished on both 

 sides with soft glandular hairs, the upper ones mostly opposite, the 

 teeth not acute or aristate, glabrous on both sides, without glands, 

 the upper ones mostly alternate, the calyx furnished with glandular 

 and eglandular hairs . . . the capsule rotund-linear, not obovate- 

 linear . . . the seeds 16-ribbed, not 12-ribbed." I have specimens
