REPORT FOR 1912. 



271 



Scrophularia alata, Gilib. [Ref. No. 890.] Abundant in dens of 

 Pitairlie and Craig Mill, Forfarshire, v.-c. 90, N.C.R., October 9, 

 1912. — R. and M. Corstorphine. "Yes, and a new county record 

 extending its northern range from Fife to Forfar." — G. C. Druce. 



Mimulus moschatus, Dougl. This well-known garden plant, a 

 native of Western North America, was completely naturalised by the 

 road-side but near a house, near Pentre, Denbigh, July 1912. — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Veronica Anagallis-aquatica, L. = V. Anagallis, Jacq. [Ref. No. 

 4911.] This is the true plant, as restricted by German authors, 

 having pale blue flowers, crowded racemes, and ascending fruit-stalks. 

 In the swift chalk stream which divides Bucks and Beds, near 

 Eddlesborough, June 1912 (See Rei^ort 1911, pp. 26-27). Also 

 from Wendlebury, Oxon. [Ref. No. 4842], June 1912.— G. C. Druce. 

 " Although not so labelled by Mr Druce, this would seem to be his 

 var. glandulosar — J. A. Wheldon. 



Veronica Anagallis, L., proper. June 29 and Aug. 20, 1912. On 

 swampy ground near the confluence of the Ash Brook and Ippollitts 

 Brook, Hitchin, Herts. Annual ; flowers blue ; pedicels glandular. If 

 V. Anagallis-aquatica, L., is split, what becomes of var. mo7itioides, 

 Boiss. 1 V. Anagallis, L., occurs on Oughton Head Common, and V. 

 aquatica, Bernh., on Caldwell Common, both near Hitchin. — J. E. 

 Little. " Yes, and as the rachis is glandular like the specimens from 

 Oxford and Bucks, it is the var. glandulosa. Mo7itioides, Boiss., is only 

 an annual form and not a variety." — G. C. Druce. " Surely not an 

 annual as stated. It would be an advantage to the Club if Mr Druce 

 could oblige us with descriptions of restricted V. Anagallis, and of 

 our more common plant, V. aquatica, Bernh. The latter varies in hue ; 

 usually the flowers are bluish lilac, but I have occasionally seen them 

 pink or flesh-coloured." — E. S. Marshall. " The descriptions of the 

 two plants are given in Report 1911, pp. 26-27, but on line 5 from 

 bottom of p. 26, 'dense' should read 'laxer.' Annual forms (var. 

 montioides, Boiss.) occur, but the normal plant is perennial." — G. C. 

 Druce. 



Veronica Anagallis, var. glandulosa. Gleaston Beck, Urswick, 

 v.-c. 69, Oct. 4, 1912. The colour of the flowers was pale lilac with 

 darker veins. Many of the plants were quite 2 feet high. The 

 glands seem to be confined to the infloresence ; the stem, leaves and 

 bracteoles seem to be without them. — D. Lumb. "Looks different 

 from Mr Druce's plant, having broader sepals and relatively shorter 

 pedicels. Inflorescence long and dense-flowered as in V. Anagallis, 

 but the pedicles appear to become horizontal ultimately, or even
