Euphrasia curta Wettst., var. glabrescens Wettst. [Ref. No. 267.] 

 Fordham Heath, Essex N,, v.-c. 19, Aug. 31, 1913. Corolla very 

 pale lilac, streaked with dark purple, and with broader, shorter, and 

 less deeply cut lobes than Ref. No. 266. — G. C. Brown. " I think 

 this must go under E. stricta Host. E. curta and its var. glabrescens 

 have a different habit, with leaves of quite a different shape, tkc."— C. 

 E. Salmon. '"My example is mixed with E. nemorosa." — -J. A. 

 Wheldon. " On this sheet there are two small specimens which 

 may be weak E. curta, var. glabrescejis, and two which are 

 undoubtedly E nemorosa. The flowers are rather large, but the plant 

 has the spreading compound branches, the spreading leaves, and the 

 dull colouring of that species."— C. Bucknall. 



Euphrasia Rostkoviana Hayne. Low Gill. Hindburndale, W. 

 Lanes., v.-c. 60, July 1913. — A. Wilson. "Yes." — E. S. Marshall. 



Euphrasia 1 Roborough Moor, Yelverton, S. Devon, June 



1913. Coll. Miss Comber.— J. Comber "This is Mr Davey's E. 

 VigursHy — C E. Salmon and E S.Marshall. Very young, but 

 apparently a dark-flowered form of E. Rostkoviana.'''— 3 . A. Wheldon. 

 " An interesting dark-flowered form of E. Vigursii Davey." — C. 

 Bucknall. 



Euphrasia Kerneri Wettst. Reigate, Surrey, Aug. 30, 1913. This 

 showy species is quite a feature of the chalk downs around Reigate. 

 It is a variable plant — the stem may be almost simple or repeatedly 

 branched — the flowers quite large or (in autumn) quite small. Stems, 

 leaves, and bracts often tinged with purple. — C. E. Salmon. 



Bartsia Odontites, var. Near Pegsdon, Beds., v.-c. 30, Aug. 19, 

 1913. I await the naming of this variety. The most characteristic 

 specimens have widely divergent branches — J. E. Little. " Is var. 

 serotina (Dum.)."— J. A. Wheldon. " ^. Odoyitites.'' — A. Thellung. 



Melampyrum cristatum L. Hedgerow, London Road, near 

 Souldrop, Beds., v.-c. 30, July 6, 1913.— G. Chester. 



Melampyrum jyratense L., var. ericetorum Oliver '? [Ref. No. 

 3799.] Bushy hillock, east of Garth Castle, near Fortingal, v.-c. 88, 

 Mid Perth ; locally abundant, July 6, 1913. This name was suggested 

 at the time by Mr C. E. Salmon, and it seems to agree very fairly well 

 with the description in the Phytologist, 1852, p. 678, kindly supplied 

 by Mr Arthur Bennett. Though near var. moyitanum (Johnst.), it 

 looked a good deal different. Plant hispid, reddish-brown, corolla- 

 tube whitish, the limb very pale j^^ellow, upper bracts often, but by 

 no means always, toothed. I have not seen Irish specimens. — E. S. 

 Marshall. " Var. ericetorum should have toothed bracts. This is,
