468 MONOGRAPH OF THE BRITISH SPECIES OF EUPHRASIA. 



does not lengthen, but straiglitens, is then drawn into the tube 

 and disappears behind the anthers which ultimately exceed the style 

 and stigma. The stigma is, as already stated, ripe for fecundation 

 some time before the bursting of the anthers. In Oesterr. Bot. 

 Zeit. June, 1882, Kerner makes some interesting and valuable 

 remarks on this position of the stigma in this and other species of 

 the genus.

Fl. Middle Sept. to middle of Oct. (Jord.). 



I have not seen fresh specimens of this plant and have therefore 

 followed Prof. Wettsteiu in giving Jordan's description in Pug. 

 where M. Jordan remarks " C'est I'espece le plus tardive, il est en 

 bon etat du 15 Sept. au 15 Oct. dans nos environs" {i.e. Lyons). 

 There are specimens of E. uliginosa Ducommun in Herb. Eeuter, 

 from Marais du Coin, which appear to me to be quite those of 

 E. campestris Jord. ; the style is nearly straight, the cor. tube fairly 

 long though the fls. are small. On the ticket accompanying these 

 specimens Ducommun writes ''differt ab. E. officinalis floribus 

 minoribus, labio superiore extus albido, pilis brevioribus, et cap- 

 sula tubum calycis parum excedente." " 30 Aout, -55."

I have given the description of this species because I collected a 

 plant on the limestone hills about three miles south of Buxton, on
