ST. JOHN: SABLE ISLAND. 93 



Agalinis paupercula (Gray) Britton, var. neoscotica Fennel 1 & 

 St. John, n. comb., Gerardia neoscotica Greene, Leaflets of Bot. Ob- 

 serv. and Grit. ii. 106-7 (1910). Greene's type, collected by himself 

 at Middleton, Nova Scotia, has been examined by Dr. Pennell and 

 myself and we feel that it and the Sable Island plant belong in the 

 same category. The var. neoscotica differs from A. paupercula in 

 being only 1-2.5 dm. in height, in having the leaves broader, being 

 broadly linear, 1-3 cm. long and 1.5-4.5 mm. wide; the lobes of the 

 calyx are unusually long, 3-8 mm. and of unequal length; the corolla 

 lobes are scarcely at all spreading; the anther sacs are glabrous. 



Common in the wet dune hollows. J. Macoun (C. no. 22,576); 

 H. St. John, nos. 1,317 and 1,318 (H).
