slightly decurved. Seems, however, nearest to V. Anagallis, without 

 being so typical as Mr Druce's specimen." — J. A. Wheldon 

 Abnormal specimens, and although probably Anagallis, I do not 

 venture to speak positively." — G. C. Druce. 



Euphrasia nemorosa, H. Mart., var. A condensate, strong grow- 

 ing form, abundant on the Barton Cliffs, Hordle, S. Hants, July 28, 

 1912. — J. C. Melvill. "I incline to think this an extreme form of 

 E. curta, Wettst., var. glabrescens, Wettst. The leaves are not quite 

 glabrous, which Wettstein, in his Monograph, says that they always 

 are in B. rtemorosa. Similar plants were indeed wdmed nemorosa 

 by Mr Townsend, but a great deal of what he so called agrees with 

 authentically determined E. curta, var. glabrescens. I think that 

 Mr Bicknall relies on a set of specimens given him by Mr Townsend ; 

 but Wettstein's opinion carries greater weight, and should be accepted 

 in preference." — E. S. Marshall. 



Euphrasia curta, Wettst., var. b. glabrescens, Wettst. Grassy 

 heath 30 feet above sea level. The Bout, Yeness, Orphir, Mainland, 

 Orkney, July 19, 1912. As far as I am able to judge, they should be 

 referred to E. curta, Wettst., var. glabrescens ; though none of my 

 plants, so determined by Professor Wettstein himself, have such 

 remarkably large stem leaves. However, I do not see how they can 

 be placed elsewhere. As he remarks in his Monograph, this variety 

 is more or less intermediate between E. curta and E. nemorosa." — 

 H. H. Johnston. "Mixed specimens." — C. H. Ostenfeld. 



Euphrasia gracilis, Fr. (fide E. S. Marshall). Grassy banks at 

 burn side, 15 feet above sea level, Burn of Ore, Waas, Hoy, Orkney, 

 July 16, 1912.— H. H. Johnston. " Yes."— C. H. Ostenfeld. 



Euphrasia. Heath on hill side, 320 feet above sea level, Brunt 

 Hill, Stromness, Mainland, Orkney, Aug. 23, 1912. The Rev. E. S. 

 Marshall writes : — ' Difficult to name accurately, being starved. 

 I incline to think it a reduced state of E. gracilis, Fr., with rather 

 crowded leaves ; the very small flowers favour this. If not, it 

 is small E. curta, var. glabrescens, Wettst.' — H. H. Johnston. 

 " E. gracilis, Fr." — C. H. Ostenfeld. 



Eujyhrasia gracilis, Fr. (fide E. S. Marshall). Heath at burn 

 side 10 feet above sea level. Pegah Burn, Waas, Hoy, Orkney, 

 August 7, 1912. — H, H. Johnston. "Yes." — C. H. Ostenfeld. 



Euphrasia gracilis, Fr. (fide E. S. Marshall). Heathery banks at 

 burn side, 240 feet above sea level. North Dale, Waas, Hoy, Orkney, 

 August 7, 1912. — H. H. Johnston. "Yes." — C. H. Ostenfeld.
