them the Rev. E. S. Marshall furnished me with the 

 following remarks: — "Difficult to name with confidence; 

 no fruit is present. But I believe it to be a dwarf, com- 

 pact state of E. borealis, Townsend." This species was 

 growing in patches near to other patches of E. CURTA, 

 Wettst, var. glabrescens, Wettst. (fide E. S. Marshall), 

 which had the corolla pale lilac, with dark purple lines, and 

 a yellow spot on the throat of the lower lip. See " Journ. 

 Bot.," vol. xxxix., August 1901, p. 270. 



Euphrasia gracilis, Fries (fide E. S. Marshall). — Hoy, 

 15th August 1874, H. H. Johnston; heath, Waas, Hoy, 

 9th August 1877, H. H. Johnston ; grassy banks at burn- 

 side, 15 feet above sea-level, Burn of Ore, Waas, Hoy, 

 16th July 1912, H. H. Johnston ; heath at burnside, 10 feet 

 above sea-level, Pegal Burn, Waas, Hoy, 7th August 1912, 

 H, H. Johnston ; heathery banks at burnside, 240 feet above 

 sea-level, North Dale, Waas, Hoy, 7th August 1912, H. H. 

 Johnston ; heath on hillside, 320 feet above sea-level, Brunt 

 Hill, Stromness, Mainland, 23rd August 1912, H. H. John- 

 ston ; and heath 200 feet above sea-level, near Rosehill, 

 Stromness, Mainland, 30th August 1912, H. H. Johnston. 

 Native at all these stations. With reference to the speci- 

 mens from Brunt Hill, the Rev. E. S. Marshall furnished 

 me with the following remarks : — " Difficult to name 

 accurately, being starved. I incline to think it a reduced 

 state of E. gracilis, Fries, with rather crowded leaves ; 

 the small flowers favour this. If not, it is small E. CURTA, 

 Wettst, var. glabrescens, Wettst" With reference to the 

 specimens from Burn of Ore, Pegal Burn, and Brunt Hill, 

 see "Bot. Exch. Club Report," 1912, p. 272. 



Euphrasia scottica, Wettst. (fide E. S. Marshall).— 

 Heath on hillside, 310 feet above sea-level, North Dale, 

 Waas, Hoy, 7th August 1912, H. H. Johnston. Native. 

 Remarks on my specimen by the Rev. E. S. Marshall : — 

 " This has the habit and general appearance of E. SCOTTICA, 

 Wettst., and I think that it is best so named; material 

 rather young, and not in fruit." See "Journ. Bot.," vol. 

 xxxix., August 1901, p. 270 ; and " Bot. Exch. Club Report," 

 1912, p. 273.
