J.  E.  Little.  Corbiere  [FI.  Norm.,  408  (1898)]  mentions 
a  var.  dubia  Arrond.  of  M.  versicolor,  with  diagnosis 
“  flowers  white,  then  blue.”  This,  Rouy  (FI.  Fr.)  degrades 
to  a  “sub-var.”  Probably  this  is  Mr.  Little’s  plant _ 
C.E.S. 
Cuscuta  europcea  L.  Bank  of  Avon,  Saltford,  N. 
Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Aug.  21,  1914.  Parasitic  on  Urtica 
dioica. — Ida  M.  Roper. 
Euphrasia  Rostkoviana  Hayne,  form  or  hybrid  ? 
On  peat,  Tadham  Moor,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Aug.  1913. 
— J.  W.  White.  The  flowers  are  rather  small,  but  this  is, 
I  believe,  E.  Rostkoviana  type. — C.B. 
E.  brevipila  Burnat  &  Gremli,  form  or  hybrids 
Peat  moor,  near  Ashcott,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Aug.  1913. 
— J.  W.  White.  Typical  E.  brevipila,  I  believe.  But  one 
sheet,  in  which  the  main  stems  have  been  bitten  off,  is 
either  E.  brevipila,  var.  subeglandulosa  or  abnormal  E. 
nemorosa _ C .  B . 
E.  nemorosa  H.  Mart.  Chalk  hill,  Offley,  Herts.,  v.c. 
20,  Aug.  22,  1912.  Named  by  Mr.  Bucknall,  who  saw  all 
the  sheets. — J.  E.  Little. 
E.  nemorosa  H.  Mart.,  forma .  Blackdown,  on 
Mendip,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Sept.  19,  1911 _ J.  W.  White. 
One  sheet  has  the  habit  of  E.  nemorosa  and  the  short 
glandular  hairs  of  E.  brevipila.  Possibly  the  hybrid  E. 
brevipila  x  nemorosa.  The  others  appear  to  be  forms  of 
E.  nemorosa. — C.B. 
E.  gracilis  Fr.  (Ref.  No.  118).  Growing  in  marshy 
ground,  Grande  Mare,  Guernsey,  July  31,  1914.  On 
specimens  of  this  gathering  submitted  for  comment  Mr. 
Marshall  remarked  “  I  think  that  this  may  be  E.  gracilis 
Fr.,  but  am  not  sure.  As  a  rule,  that  is  a  plant  of  rather 
dry  ground.”  Mr.  Bucknall  replied  “  E.  gracilis  Fr.,  I 
think.”  Most  of  the  plants  were  growing  in  permanently 
water-logged  soil,  some  in  permanent  water.  —  W.  C. 
Barton. 
E.  curta  Wettst.  (Ref.  No.  4045).  Submaritime 
sands,  Ansdell,  W.  Lancs.,  v.c.  60,  Aug.  10,  1914.  This 
grew  plentifully,  together  with  the  var.  glabrescens
