This plant, althoagh allied to 7’. Vogelit, ag be placed in 
the section PAIN Oe because the anthers are situated on the 
margin of the tube. In the original dosaription a T. Vogelit, 
Hook. fil. Niger Fl. 253, the anthers are described as marginal, 
therefore it seems doubtful whether this species has been correctly 
placed. 
A specimen epg by Mr. Dawe in Ankole, no. 489, may 
have to be referred h 
In the field this pane was readily distinguished from 1’. Vogelit, 
which was also collected, the shape, consistency, and colour of the 
petals being different 
SHORT NOTES. 
OCCIDENTALIS: A Co —In my article on 
Euphrasia —— ‘Gout. “Bot. 1907, 319), I stated that the new 
plant therein dese: as named a Dr. Vigurs, ‘ to 
occidentalis Pugsley.” That statement was made in perfect good 
faith, but qatar study of the history of this handsome Fumitory 
has shown me that in so writing I unwittingly did a great injustice 
to my friend ay: a. WW. ee, peony stated, the facts are 
these: In 1898 Dr. Vigurs became aware of the existence of a 
Fumitory in the Newquay district which did not appear to him to 
fall under any described oir form, and specimens were for- 
warded to Mr. G. C. Druce, cha in turn sent them on to Herr 
Freyn (see Bot. Exchange Club ete 1904, 4); but beyond that 
nothing appears to have bg done. In June 1902, ra on a 
ur in nwall, mpany with Mr. E. G. Bak a 
SS one Ri found what ‘flaewaviia proved to be the same plait at 
Penza: re at Helston, and, to quote from a letter of his to me, 
“we zed on the spot that we saw a s 
ritain. Bar arly the next year Mr. Pugsley, whose original work 
on Capreolate Fumitories is too well known and -2ppt reciated se 
need an encomium here, pene Ab a long and ing seri 
of investigations i in connection with the stranger, aa in 1904 he 
described and figured it in this Journal as a new s 
nt. I believe I was the first to associate his name with the 
dis scovery, but, as I have already stated, my remarks: Wate based 
on a misapprehension.—F. Hammton Davey.
