Myosotis versicolor^ Reichb. ? var. Brebisson. This variety 
is common on dry banks in Jersey, April and May 1899, and is very 
consistent in colour, though variable in habit. The points of distinc- 
tion are {a) foliage a yellower green, (Z>) calyx never tinged with purple, 
ic) flowers pure white, never yellow, never shading off into, or turning, 
blue. It appears to differ from M. Balbisiana, Jord., the flowers of 
which are yellow, and from M. dubia, Arrondeau, the flowers of which 
are white, but turn blue. In Brebisson’s ‘Flore de Normandie’ two 
other varieties are given : (i) var. pallida, flowers white or very slightly 
yellow; (2) var. elongata, “stems weak, little branched, elongate. 
Flowers yellowish, then reddish, very small.” The Jersey plant 
seems to correspond with yely. pallida. In ‘Journ. Bot.,’ 1893, p. 266, 
a “ white variety with paler foliage ” is mentioned as found in the 
Scilly Islands. — L. V. Lester. “ Is this variety of M. versicolor more 
than an albino form which would have, in addition to white flowers, 
foliage of a paler hue?” — E. F. Linton.

cause or other arrested in growth.” — W. R. L.

in what respects it differs from the usual plant.” — W. R. L.

Elgin, 24th August 1898. No. 2068. 'I'his queer little eyebright 
grew plentifully among Carex CEderi, Retz., and Hydrocotyle, on the 
bottom of a shallow lakelet (dry, that summer) near the sea, three 
miles W. of Kingston. 'The herbage was bright green, with stiff 
white hairs and some short-stalked glands. I think it to be a form of 
E. brevipila. — E. S. Marshall. “ Probably E. brevipila, B. and G., 
but very abnormal. 'Fhe primary stem has in most of the specimens 
been bitten off by sheep or cattle, when the plants were young, and 
has caused the development of buds, branches, and flowers in the 
axils of the lower leaves.” — F. I'ownsend.
