Bartsia Odontites , Huds., var. divergens, Balb. Near Easthain 
Locks, Cheshire, 17th August 1897. This comes very near B. 
serotina , and may only be a form of that plant ; but it has a peculiar 
and distinct appearance when growing, and sometimes the lower 
branches take a direction at right angles to the stem, or are even 
reflexed. This appears to be the commonest form of B. Odontites in 
the Wirral peninsula, but I have not seen it on the Lancashire side 
of the Mersey. — J. A. Wheldon. “I should say verna, Reichb.” — 
W. R. Linton. “ The var. divergens , Balb., is generally a much taller 
plant.” — E. G. Baker. “Not good Odontites divergens , Jord., which 
is a taller plant, with widely divergent branches.” — G. C. Druce. “Is 
Odontites verna ( Euphrasia Odontites, L.), Reichb., not O. divergens , 
which has very short bracts.” (Deckblaetter). — J. Freyn. 
Bartsia viscosa, L. Pont Harquet, Jersey, 8th July 1897. — L. V. 
Lester. Also from the sides and banks of the road from the railway
