Centaurium  umbellatum  Gilib.,  var.  capitation  Druce. 
Near  North  Berwick,  Haddingtonsh.,  v.c.  82,  July  22, 
1931. — McT.  Cowan,  junr.  Correct. — C.E.S.  Yes;  the 
Erythrcea  Centaurium  Pers.,  /3.  capitata  Koch,  “  Synopsis,” 
ed.  II.,  566: — “  corymbo  etiam  post  anthesin  compacto, 
nec  elongato.”  I  have  seen  this  strong  form  of  the 
variety  occasionally;  it  cannot  be  due  to  browzing  by 
sheep,  etc.,  as  it  occurs  in  untouched  plants. — E.S.M. 
Symphytum  [asperrimum  Bieb.] .  Near  Blackford 
Hill,  Edinburgh,  v.c.  83,  June  22,  1911. — McT.  Cowan, 
junr.  I  have  seen  several  specimens  of  this,  and,  although 
in  some  respects  it  approaches  S.  asperum  Lepech  (=  S. 
asperrimum  M.B.)  I  can  only  refer  it  to  S .  peregrinum 
Ledeb.  It  differs  from  S  asperum  in  the  larger  calyx 
with  acute  segments,  the  style  bent  below  the  stigma, 
and  the  upper  leaves  slightly  decurrent,  not  sub-petiolate.

Lithospermum  purpureo-cceruleum  L.  Border  of 
wood,  Weston- in-Gordano,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  May  19,

Verbascum  pulverulentum  Vill.  Chalk  pit,  Eaton,

Linaria  supina  Desf.  Par  Sands,  E.  Cornwall,  v.c.  2, 
Oct.  2,  1911.  This  plant  abounds  all  over  the  neighbour¬ 
hood,  and  is  truly  native,  but  the  finest  specimens  occur 
along  the  sandy  foreshore. — F.  H.  Davey. 
Scrophularia  vernalis  L.  Falmouth,  W.  Cornwall, 
v.c.  1,  April  16,  1911.  The  only  known  Cornish  locality 
for  this  plant. — F.  H.  Davey. 
Veronica  arvensis  L.,  [var.  nana  Poir.] .  Blackford 
Hill,  Edinburgh,  v.c.  83,  May  29,  1911. — McT.  Cowan,  jun. 
I  have  not  seen  Poiret’s  description  ;  but  this  is  not  var. 
eximia  Towns.,  though  like  it  in  habit,  as  the  sepals 
decidedly  exceed  the  capsule. — E.S.M. 
Euphrasia - .  Nether  Hall,  Scraptoft,  Leics.,  v.c. 
55,  June  25,  1910.  This  Euphrasia  was  growing  in  the 
same  district  as  one  named  E.  “  strict  a”  by  the  late  Mr.
