150 p. BUBANI FLORA PYRENAEA. 



Scottish Localities for Euphrasia foulaensis Towns. — I lately 

 looked through the Eyebrights of Mr. P. J. Hanbury's collection 

 and of the Bos well- Syme Herbarium, and noticed among them 

 vai'ious specimens which correspond with one or other of the 

 northern forms recently so named by Prof. Wettstein for Mr. 

 Shoolbred and myself; there are also one or two gatherings of 

 mine winch apparently belong here. Mid-Perth (v.-c. 88) : Ben 

 Lawers, August, 1887 !, above 3000 ft. ; these just match some of 

 our Melvich plants. Small and immature specimens from near the 

 summit of Am Binnein (Ben More), between 3500 and 3700 ft., 

 thmhurij d' Marshall, July, 1889, are probably the same thing. 

 S. Aberdeen (v.-c. 92) : Near the Falls of Corriemulzie, Braemar 

 (very characteristic). Fox d Hanbury, July, 1885. The Derry, 

 Braemar (mixed with E. gracilis Fries and £". c^rrm Fries), Hayihury, 

 July, 1886. W. Sutherland (v.-c. 108) : Between Durness and 

 Ehiconich, Fox S Hanbury, July, 1885. Caithness (v.-c. 109) : 

 Cliffs at Downreay, Fox d- Hanbury, July, 1885. Orkney (v.-c. 

 Ill) : Swanbister, W. Irvine Fortescue in Herb. Boswell-Syme — one 

 dwarf plant, like the mainland form of exposed grassy cliffs, among 

 a lot of F. burealis Townsend. Moul Head, Deerness (the same 

 form), W. Irvine Fortescue in Herb. Hanbury. I suspect that 

 E. ojjicinalis var. maritima Hooker comes under E. foulaensis; 

 but there appear to be no authentic specimens in the General 

 Herbarium at Kew, nor yet in the British Herbarium at South 

 Kensington. There are examples in Herb. Hanbury of a beautiful 

 plaut from cliffs at Downreay, Caithness, gathered in July, 1888 

 (associated with E. foulaensis), which I think may be E. foulaensis 

 X latifolia. In habit these closely approach EJ. latifolia Pursh, but 

 are much less hairy, with small bright violet-purple blossoms, the 

 corolla-tube being included. Mr. Hanbury tells me that they 

 occurred over nearly a mile, mostly in ones and twos — a fact 

 which rather favours the suggested theory of their origin. — Edward

This work, upon which Bubani had been engaged during the 

 chief and best part of his life, was practically ready for the press at 

 his death in 1888. Prof. Penzig in his preface explains that, from 

 various circumstances, it has not been possible to publish it until 

 now. His share in the work is limited to certain corrections, 

 bibliographical additions, &c., the book being in the main produced 

 as it was left by its author in about 3000 folio pages of manuscript. 



"Whatever may be thought of the author's views of nomen- 

 clature," says the preface, "every one must admire the vast 

 erudition, the skill, and the scrupulous care" which Bubani has
