28 ERITTSII EUPIIRAST.E 



relationship to which it is well to draw attention. These are 

 JE. suecica and E. ccerulea (?), which Wettstein considers to be 

 related to E. stricta and E. curta respectivel}^ as sestival forms. 

 When these two species are better known — if, indeed, the latter proves 

 to be identical with the Continental plant — it will be interesting to 

 learn to what extent they give support to that theory. As far as 

 morphological characters go, I must confess that to me a close con- 

 nection between these species is not very evident, 



I venture to hope that the general conclusions at which I have 

 arrived will be acquiesced in by those Avho take an interest in this 

 genus. At the same time, I cannot expect that all my determinations 

 of doubtful and apparently intermediate plants will be always accepted. 

 In many cases a more accurite knowledge of the circumstances of 

 growth, of the other species which grow in the same localit}^, atid, 

 above all, a more representative selection of examples in regard to 

 form, size and stage of development might lead to a different decision. 

 Collectoi-s will do well to bear this in mind.

,, 18, 11. 18 from top and 7 from bottom. Miss E. Armitage wi-ites -. •• Huutsliam 

 Hill is in Herefordshire : it closely adjoins Symond's Yat, which is in W. Glou- 

 cestershire, the boundarj' running at the foot of the Yat Rock. The Bishop's 

 Wood locality is also on Gloucestershii-e border in Herefordshire, a few miles 

 higher up the River Wye." 



P. 23, after 1. 40 add : — Carnarvon. Cwm Meillionen, Beddgelert, June 21, 

 1916. Very near to E. minima var. nana from Griesdale, except that the bracts are 

 rather larger, the spike broader and the flowers more brightly coloured. These 

 specimens tend to show that the varieties described on pp. 23, 24, are correctly 

 placed with E. miiiiitia. This and the other two interesting plants here men- 

 tioned are contained in a parcel of Euplirasise received from Mr. C. E. Salmon. 



P. 24 after 1. 16, add :— Monmouth. Slope of mountain (about 1000 ft.) 

 above Llanthcmy, Sept. 8th, 1916, E. B. Bishoji. This corresponds in every 

 detail to E. minima var. arbuscula from Patterdale. It is interesting to find that 

 this form is not confined to Westmorland and Derby, and that its range 

 extends much farther to the south. It will probably be found elsewhere in 

 similar situations in mountainous districts. 



P, 27 after 1. 31 add :— Perth. Slopes near Lawers Burn. Sept. 12th, 1915, 

 C. E. Salmon, as E. Rotitkoviana. This is similar in habit to E.fennica Kihlman, 

 hut has larger bracts, broader flowering-spike, especially at the top, and rather 

 conspicuous white flowers. It appears to be intermediate between E. Eoatlcociana 

 and E^fennica^
