34 TRANSACTIONS OF THE [Sess. lxxxiv 



Reservoir, near Hatston, Saint Ola, Mainland, 31st August 

 1916, H. H. Johnston. Not native. Rare. Corolla pink. 

 Confirms the record of this species from Orkney in 

 Neill, " Tour," p. 185 (1806). See " Journ. Bot.," No. xiii, 

 January 1864, p. 15 ; and Spence, " Flora Orcadensis," 

 p. 50 (1914). 



Euphrasia occidentalls, Wettst. (fide Cedric Bucknall). 

 — Pasture at seashore, 5 feet above sea-level, Swona, 28th 

 July 1914, H. H. Johnston. Native. Common. Cauline 

 leaves 2-8 toothed. Corolla light purple, with darker 

 purple lines, and a 3'ellow spot on throat of lower lip. 

 The .same specimens were seen by the late Rev. E. S. 

 Marshall, who wrote the following note on them, on 

 3rd September 1914, viz. : — " Forms of E. curta, I think, 

 with large flowers. Some are hairy enough for type ; 

 others come nearer to var. gtahrescens." But, on 18th 

 October 1919, Mr. C. Bucknall wrote: "Not Euphrasia 

 curta, as the leaves and bracts are very glandular.' 

 This species and E. borealis, Toivnsend (fide C. Bucknall) 

 both grow at the same station in Swona, and I have 

 specimens of both, collected b}^ me on the same date, in 

 my herbarium. 



Euphrasia latifolia, Pursh. (fide C. Bucknall). — 

 Natural heathery and grassy pasture, 90 feet above sea- 

 level. Black Craig, Stroraness, Mainland, 4th August and 

 5th September 1919, H. H. Johnston. Native. Common. 

 Cauline leaves 2-6-toothed. Corolla pale lilac, with dark 

 purple lines, and a yellow spot on throat of lower lip. A 

 large number of living and dried specimens of this species 

 were sent by me to Mr. Cedric Bucknall, who sent me the 

 following written note, dated 18th October 1919, viz.: — 

 " EupJtrasia latifolia, Pursh. These specimens agree with 

 Wettstein's description in bearing a few stipitate glands 

 on the leaves and bracts. Having been gathered rather 

 late in the season, they lack the large stem leaves with 

 broad, obtuse terminal lobe which is so characteristic of 

 E. latifolia, and being glandular they might easily be 

 taken for E. occidentalis. This actually happened to a 

 .sheet of specimens from the same locality in Herb. Uruce, 

 gathered in 1912, which were variously named E. curta, 

 E. borealis, and E. occidentalis. L have no doubt that
