than is usual in E. nemorosa on the chalk hills of Herts. 
J. E. Little. From its slender, flexuous and much branched 
habit, with filiform lower branches, narrow leaves and broad 
capsules, I regard this as a form of E. confusa f. albida, although 
it is by no means typical. — H. W. Pugslev. 
Euphrasia confusa Pugsley. No. 5523. Two gatherings, 
unfortunately mixed. Above Simonsbath, Exmoor, West 
Somerset, v.c. 5 ; at 1400 ft. close to the road to South 
Molton and near the Devon border ; at 1100 ft. on a grassy 
knoll in the Barle valley, July 15 and 17, 1927. blowers 
mostly yellow. See Journ. Bot. 1928, p. 26. — H. S. Thompson. 
Correctly named. A large proportion of the specimens bear 
white flowers, and in a few the corolla is purplish. These 
are referable, to my f. albida. — H. W. Pugsley. Agrees 
with Pugsley ’s description of the yellow-flowered Eyebright 
of Exmoor. The plants are under the average height of 
the species, but my specimens show the state with simple 
stems, as well as those that are freely branched, with filiform 
branches. Yellow flowers are uncommon in the genus, 
and the specimens are welcome. — J. Fraser. 
Euphrasia Rostkoviana Hayne. No. 5522. Growing 
with E. confusa close to road to South Molton above Simons- 
bath, Exmoor, W. Somerset, v.c. 5, at 1200 ft. to 1400 ft. 
Flowers yellowish, but also mauve and white, July 15, 
1927 — H. S. Thompson. This is E. Rostkoviana .—E . Drabble. 
Yes, young and immature subalpine forms of this. The 
glandular hairs are abundant on the stem but relatively 
fewer and shorter on the upper portions of the bracts.— W. H. 
Pearsall. A slender form of E. Rostkoviana similar to that 
(also from Exmoor) distributed through the Club in 1922-23. 
But in this latest gathering— what 1 have not seen before 
— a number of the specimens show yellow flowers as in E. 
confusa. I see no signs of hybridity here, for though the 
plants are young, the earliest capsules appear normally 
developed, and Eyebrights do not generally hybridize freely 
in this country. The tendency to produce yellow flowers 
in two distinct species growing in this district is peculiar and 
would seem due to some special local conditions. — H. W. 
Pugsley. 
Bartsia alpina L. Pastures of Widdy Bank Fell, Upper 
Teesdale, Durham, July, 1927.— J. E. Lousley.
