7. Thames. In full flower Sept. 23,1883. Roadside between Chinnor 
and Bledlow, Chinnor Hill. Chalky banks, Crowell Hill, Oxon, 
Sept. 1883. Crowell Hill is one of the Chiltern range, and within 
two miles of the Bucks border. The plant occurred abundantly 
on very bare chalky slopes, but although extremely variable in 
height, and in the number of flowers, yet the size of flowers 
seemed fairly constant. I did not notice any great difference in 
size of corolla lobes, nor did the length of germen seem worth con- 
sideration. The leaves are broader than those of Amarella, and 
the colour considerably lighter, more blue than purple, and often 
lilac. G. Amarella grew with it plentifully, but it required per- 
sistent search to find one in flower, whereas G. germanica was in 
profuse blossom, scarcely over its prime. There must be ten days’ 
difference in the time of flowering of the two plants. A few 
plants were found with only four lobes to the corolla. While 
in the greatest abundance on slopes of almost bare chalk, still others 
were scattered in the grass, and some few were found on the 
tertiary above the chalk, Rep. of Rec. Club, 1883. 
Berks. Streatley, Phyt. i. 381 (?). IT have only seen large Amarella 
there. Bucks! 
I am inclined to consider this distinct from Amarella, although the bo- 
tanical differences, as in the case of Galeopsis versicolor, are difficult to 
express on paper. Although the plants varied in stature from one and 
a-half inch to nine inches, yet the size of the flower was very constant. 
G. campestris, L. Field Gentian.
