1. Thwaites’s var. 8 which seems to be S. euphrasioides of Ben- 
tham’s description but not Buchnera euphrasioides Vahl. 
Corolla tube hairy; calyx ribs glandular. 
2. ?S. glabrata Benth. Buchnera euphrasioides Vahl. 
Corolla tube glabrous; calyx ribs pubescent. 
Bentham, in Hk. f. Comp. Bot. Mag. I, p. 364 (1835), states that 
‘The flowers (of S. glabrata) are said to be bluish ;’’ this colour was 
probably due to bruising, for Trimen, Journ. Bot. XXIII, p. 172 says 
of S. orobanchoides : ‘* All parts of the plant become stained inky blue 
if bruised or on long exposure after gathering.”’ 
BUCHNERA HISPIDA Ham. 
This species has been found in India, Trop. Africa and Madagascar 
_ and might therefore be expected to occur in Ceylon.

XCIII.—OROBANCHACE.. 
Livera, in Ann. Perad. X, pp. 145-159 (1927), has published a revi- 
sion of this family, but as Petch, in Ann. Perad. XI, pp. 269-275 
(1930), differs from him in many points I do not think that all his 
conclusions can be accepted without re-examination of fresh material.*
