XL EYEBRIGHT. EUPHRASIA. 



Erect annuals, or, in some exotic species, perennials, closely allied 

 to Bartsia, and differing chiefly in the corolla, which has the upper lip 

 much less concave, with 2 lobes spreading laterally or turned back, 

 and the lobes of the lower lip are more spreading, and usually notched. 

 Seeds few, pendulous, and furrowed. 



There is probably but one species of the genus in the northern hemi- 

 sphere, but several others are natives of Australia and South America.
