Mr. Little’s number 17201 also, look as if they had been white. 
I have found this uncommon plant in several places in England, 
and also in France, and always the flowers have been white, 
with sometimes a very faint tinge of blue. The ordinary 
book descriptions, which say the flowers are blue with a white 
lower tip, seem misleading. I have found V. agrestis in 
gardens and allotments, and (once) on the top of a wall, 
but never, in England, in arable fields. In France I have 
seen it in vineyards and by roadsides.- — T. A. Williams. 
Veronica scutellata L. Marshy ground, Mitcham Common, 
Surrey, July, 1926. — D. G. Catcheside. Yes, the glabrous 
plant. The var. villosa Schumacher (which has the inflores- 
cence glandular-hairy) may have the stem glabrous (Freshfield, 
S. Lancs.), densely hairy eglandular (Hartlebury Common, 
Worcestershire) or with some glandular hairs (Brackenfield 
Common, Derbyshire). — E. Drabble. 
Euphrasia . Waltham Quarry, Rutland, v.c. 
55a, Aug. 19, 1926.— A. R. Horwood. Comm. Nat. Mus. 
of Wales. E. nemorosa var. ciliata. — E. Drabble. This 
seems to be a luxuriant form of E. Kerneri, of unusually 
strict habit and so recalling E. stricta Host.- — H. W. Pugsley. 
Strict, little-branched forms of E. nemorosa var. ciliata 
Drabble. The flowers are small, have the lower lip tri- 
lobed, the lobes emarginate without hair. The bracts are 
spreading arcuate recurved, ovate in outline, with an acum- 
inate or acute apex and 4-5-6 teeth on either side. Of these 
the upper are ovate-acute and the lower lanceolate-aristate 
spreading. The terminal arista is usually bi- or tri-furcate. 
The bracts are slightly longer than broad and not cuneate at 
the base. Very similar examples have, in the past, been 
referred to E. brevipila or E. stricta. — W. H. Pearsall. 
Euphrasia . [738 J Near Cranwich, W. Norfolk, 
Sept. 19, 1927. — J. E. Little and J. L. Luddington. “ The 
plants from Cranwich are not easy. I have seen similar 
examples from various British localities, and they have often 
been named E. nemorosa, or E. curta var. glabrescens. . . . 
They show considerable resemblance to E. confusa, except 
for the large flowers, but I hesitate to place them there, and 
am not at present prepared to identify them.” — H. W. 
Pugsley (in litt. 18. xi. 27). 
Many of these plants are much more brightly coloured
