these were the same as the present 1919 gathering, and I 

 have no hesitation in naming them all E. latifolia." In 

 the case of the specimens of Euphrasia collected by me at 

 the Black Craig, Stromness, Mainland, on 19th August 

 1912, and distributed that year through the Botanical 

 Exchange Club of the British Isles, the name Euphrasia 

 LATIFOLIA, Pursh (fide C. Bucknall), should, therefore, be 

 substituted for the following ones, viz.: (1) "Euphrasia 

 curta, Wettst. (fide E. S. Marshall)," in "Bot. Exch. 

 Club Distributor's Report for 1912," p. 273 (1913); (2) 

 " Euphrasia borealis, Townsend (fide E. S. Marshall)," 

 in "Bot. Exch. Club Distributor's Report for 1913," p. 516 

 (1914), "Trans. Bot. Soc. Edin.," vol. xxvi, p. 213(1914), 

 and Spence, "Flora Orcadensis," p. 133 (1914); and (3) 

 " Euphrasia occidentalis, Wettst.," in " Bot. Exch. Club 

 Secretary's Report for 1916," p. 497 (1917). See Messrs. 

 W. H. Pearsall and D. Lumb's remarks in " Bot. Exch, Club 

 Distributor's Report for 1916," p. 598 (1917). in which they 

 state, with reference to my specimens collected at the 

 Black Craig, Stromness, Mainland, on 19th August 1912, 

 that " assisted by Mr Pugsley, we have come to the con- 

 clusion that latifolia is the more nearlj^ correct name." 

 My record of E. latifolia, Pursh, from the Black Craig, 

 confirms that of the late Rev. E. S. Marshall for the same 

 station, in " Journ. Bot.," vol. xxxix, August 1901, p. 270. 

 See "Trans. Bot. Soc. Edin.," vol. xxvii, p. 56 (1916). 



ScROPHULARiA NODOSA, Linn, (name confirmed by 

 Arthur Bennett). — Heathery and ferny banks on north side 

 of a glen, 350 feet above sea-level, Hoy, 19th and 27th 

 June and 9th September 1914, H. H. Johnston. Native. 

 Very rare. This species is, no doubt, the plant erroneously 

 recorded as " Scrophularia Aquatica. In Hoy, on banks 

 of rills," in " History of the Orkney Islands," by Rev. Dr. 

 Barry, ed. ii, p. 283 (1808). *S'. aquatica, Linn., grows in 

 England and the south of Scotland, but it is included 

 among the " Omitted Species " in H. C. Watson's " Florula 

 Orcadensis," published in " Journ. Bot.," No. xiii, January 

 1864, pp. 11-20. S. nodosa, Linn., was recorded from the 

 " Burn of Redland, Firth, and Burn above Church of Firth," 

 Mainland, by the late Dr. A. R. Duguid, prior to 1858, but 

 it has not been found at either of these two stations by
