BIUTISH EUPHRASI^E 19 



Llandudno and Deganwy, Sept. 1909, W. G. Travers (B. E. C). 

 Named by me, with doubt, E. horealis, on account of the rather 

 large bracts, but I now place it without hesitation with JE. nemorosa. 

 — Leicester. Salt Way, Aug. 190(3, G. B. Headly (W. B. E. C). 

 Bugworth, Aug. 1911, W. Bell (W. B. E. C.).— Groby, July 1912, 

 A. li. Horwood (W. B. E. C). This is probably shade-grown and 

 is in consequence much altered in appearance. The stem is simple 

 or nearly so, of a pale brown colour when dry, and the internodes 

 are very long. — W. Laxcastee. Sand-hills near the lake at Fair- 

 haven, St. Anne's-on-the-Sea, Sept. 1902, G. Bailey. Stem 26 cm. 

 high, branches very numerous, erect, spikes long wdth short inter- 

 nodes. Presumably growing with E. carta, which is abundant in 

 this locality, and resembling it in some respects, but it is quite 

 glabrous. It appears to be a ti-ansitional form. — W. Yoeks. Be- 

 tween Scaleber and Attermire, Aug. 1891, J. A. Wheldon. '^ E. 

 nemorosa " F. T. " ciirta forms, though in some respects simulating 

 E. nemorosa,'''' E. S. M. (B. E. C). The specimen before me has 

 unusually long internodes, is quite glabrous, and is undoubtedly 

 E. nemorosa. — Westmoelaxd. Arnside, Aug. 1915. Well-grown, 

 typical plants. 



Aegyle. Glen Etive, Aug. 1899. ResjDecting this Mr. Townsend 

 wrote, " Confer E. stricta Host," but in my opinion it is a form 

 of E. nemorosa. It has many erect compound branches with the 

 large characteristic leaves of E. nemorosa at the nodes; the spikes 

 are rather dense, but more slender, on account of the small bracts, 

 than in E. stricta. 



12. E. CAMPESTEis Jordan var. neglecta var. nov. Stem 10- 

 80 cm. or more high with many or few spreading-erect branches above 

 and below' the middle, internodes generally long ; branches shorter than 

 the stem, sometniies comj^ound. Fruiting-spikes wdth internodes 

 generally longer than the bracts except at the top. Cauline leaves 

 (5-8 mm. long, ovate or ovate-lanceolate, more or less spreading or 

 deflexed, subobtuse. Bracts 6-7 mm. long, the upper wdth lanceolate 

 or subulate subaristate teeth. Corolla about 8 mm. long, wdiite and 

 lilac or violet with yellow throat. Glandular hairs short, straight, 

 more or less numerous on leaves, bracts and calyx. Setae small, few\ 

 Towns. Mon. t. 77. 



Ab E. campestri Jordan {E. Tlioleyroniana Gandoger) divert:- — ■ 

 Caule 10-30 cm. alto, in parte inferiore superioreque ramoso, ramis 

 non congestis neque corymbosis ; spica laxiore ; Horlbus minoribus ; 

 pilis glanduliferis brevioribus, paucioribus. 



This is the description of the British form, and also applies to 

 some plants with flowers of medium size distributed by Continental 

 coUectoi-s, and to Townsend's figures of specimens from Chambery 

 and Matlock. The form distributed by Gandoger under the name 

 of E. Tholeyroniana, differs in the large, conspicuous flowers, the 

 crowded, corymbose branches springing from the middle of the stem 

 or still higher, rarely lower, in the crowded leaves and bracts forming 

 dense spikes, and in the more numerous and rather longer glandular 

 hairs. It is therefore necessary to enquire as to which form is the 

 type of E. campestris Jordan, and for this purpose 1 give the essential
