Euphrasia (officinalis) gracilis, Fries.

that it appears scarcely possible to select a fixed type for the 
species.

Syn. 767. Cyb. ii. 207. iii. 472. Not readily distinguished from

Melampyrum (pratense) latifolium, E. B. 3. 
Provinces - 23-5. Wight. Oxford. Monmouth. 
Syn. 770. In English Botany, this segregate is made the primary 
“variety” of the species, although it is is stated to be “rare”; the 
“common, and generally distributed” form being placed as the 
second “variety.” This runs counter to established usage in 
botanical books, where the prevailing or -usual form of a species 
stands for the type, and the less usual forms of it for the varieties. 
Why should a “rare” exception be accounted the primary form?
