Veronica Chamcedrys L., seedlings. Ashmansworth, N. Harts., 
v.c. 12, April 25, 1916.— W. 0, Barton. Very interesting. _ We 
want more in this direction. There is scope for good work in the 
life-histories of ou. plants. — A..B. 
V. scutellata L. Mitcham Common, Surrey, v.c. 17, July 
1916. I have never before heard of this growing at Mitcham 
In De Crespigny’s “London Flora” it is recorded from Keston 
Common, Lipping Forest, and Putney Heath. — YY . R. Slierrin. 
Reported from this locality many years age by Mr. Arthur 
Bennett. It is satisfactory to know that it still exists there. —

Euphrasia campestris Jord. Rough pasture, Fail and- N. Somer- 
set. v.c. 6, Aug. 2, 1916. I am indebted to Mr. Rucknall for an 
introduction to this plant, which hitherto in this district had 
been passed over or confused with E. nemorosa, the species that 
always accompanies it, and which it closely resembles in habit 
and characters of flower and foliage. From E. nemorosa, how- 
ever, this fo?'m is readily distinguished by its clothing of 
glandular hairs. Mr. Bucknall has explained that the flowers of 
British Euphrasies vary so much in size in the same species that 
the corolla-length cannot be relied on as a specific or group dis- 
tinction in the classification of our plants to the extent it has 
been employed by Wettstein and Townsend. My friend, there- 
fore, is not content to place nemorosa and campestris apart in the 
two divisions Parviflorcs and Grandifloree as they were arranged 
by the authors just mentioned. — Jas. W. White. My specimens 
do not show a lengthening corolla-tube, and hence cannot come 
under campestris, which — as 1 know it in Derbyshire — is very 
much like a glandular Kerned, and not at all like Bostkovia/na, 
with which it is associated by Rouy and others. These plants 
seem to be nearer to brevipila. — E.D. 
E. nemorosa H. Mart. Mount Stewart, Co Down, 1916. — 
0. H. Waddell. There are many short hairs on the leaves and 
bracts, and I believe that Wettstein would refer this to his 
E. curia,, var. glabrescens. — E.S.M. Yes; E. nemorosa, but exces- 
sively branched, probably from growing in deep, wet moss or 
other vegetation.- — C.B. 
E. scottica Wettst. Ref. No. 4-251. Common about Loch 
Laggan, W. Inverness, v.c. 97, July 31, 1316. — Edward S. 
Marshall. Not E. scottica, I think, but E. gracilis, on account of
