16 BRITISH EUPHKASI-E 



It is usually extmordinarily like JE. tenuis Brenn., but is distin- 

 guished from it by the absence of stalked glands." 



ExoLAXD. — W. YoRKS. In gi-tissy places above Grass Wood, 

 Grassington, June 1902, Driice. Name suggested by Lindman and 

 continued by Wettstein. The specimens being young, the teeth of 

 the leaves are broader and more obtuse than in the Swedish plants. 



Scotland. — E. Ross. Sedgy swamp near Tain, Aug. 1897, 

 INIarshall, as ^. horeaUs. Stem attaining 30 cm. high. This only 

 differs in the more elongated fruiting-si)ike, the plant having been 

 gathered later in the season and being more developed. 



10. E. ViGURSii Davey. Stem simple or with a few erect 

 branches about the middle. Fruiting-spike occupying about half 

 the stem, internodes a little longer than the bracts below, hidden 

 by them above. Upper bracts with ovate or ovate4anoeolate api- 

 culate teeth. Corolla dark or pale violet, 8 mm. long. Glandular 

 hairs very numerous on leaves, bracts and calyx. Seta? many or 

 few. 



ExGLAND. — Cornwall. Goonhavern, Perranzabuloe, Sept. 28rd, 

 1900, F. II, Baveij (W.B.E.C), unnamed. This is the type.— 

 Xewlyn Downs, Sept. 1907, C. C. Viyurs, Rerh. C. Bailey (B.E.C.), 

 On this sheet some of the specimens are eglandular and minutely 

 setulose ; otherwise they are indistinguishable from I^. Vigursii. — 

 Kynance Down, Jidy 191G, Mm. Wec/f/wood. Stem simple, 7 cm. 

 high ; flowers smaller, ])aler ; short glandular hairs and seta? numerous 

 on leaves and bracts, and long llexuous glandular and eglandular 

 hairs on the stem. 



^'ar. PALLEXS, var, nov. Differs from the type in the pale green 

 colour of the inigose leaves and bracts, in the lanceolate or subulate 

 subaristate teeth of the upper bracts, and in the lilac or lilac and 

 white flowers. 



Al) typo diifert : — Foliis bracteisque rugosis pallide viridibus, 

 bractearum superiorum dentibus lanceolatis subulatir^ve subaristatis, 

 lloribus lilacinis vel lilacinis et albis. 



Ireland. — Cork. On a roadside bank on the way to Berehaven 

 fi'om Glengai'riff, Aug. 15th, 1908. This corresponds in habit and in 

 the abundant glandular hairs with Cornish specimens, and only differs 

 from them in the above characters. In other respects this variety is 

 as distinct as J^. Vir/ursii itself from other glandular species. Some 

 of the specimens are eglandular, as in the Newlyn Downs gathering, 

 but are more setulose. 



11. E. NEMOROSA H. Mart. Stem branched to the middle ; 

 branches often very numerous and com])ound, s|)reading at a right 

 angle, then ascending, shorter than the stem. Spike slender, inter- 

 nodes generally long except at the top. Leaves greyish green, those 

 which subtend the larger branches 8-14 mm. long, spreading or 

 defiexed, bracts 5-8 mm. long, the upper with lanceolate or sub- 

 ulate rarely ovate, acute or shortly aristate teeth. ' Seta? none or 

 a few on the lower leaves, or, in the var. cilia/a Drabble, more or 

 less numerous on the margin of the leaves, bracts and calyx-teeth.
