for this plant to have elongated petioles, but I have not seen any 
with them as long as in Mr. Levinge’s specimens. — J. G. 
Linciria Baxterii , mihi. This hybrid of Z. vulgaris and repens 
occurred with both its parents on chalk rubble near the Railway at 
Oxford, the seeds of L. repens having been brought with the chalk 
from Berkshire. This hybrid (of which there is a series of forms 
between the two species) is much nearer Z. vulgaris, the repens 
parentage being shewn principally by the striations on the corolla, 
and is nearer vulgaris than L.sepium, Alim., Sept., 1893. — G. Claridge 
Druce. See ‘ Report,’ 1892, p. 380. 
Veronica scutellata, L., var . p annul aria, T. and P. Edge Green, 
Cheshire, 5th August, 1893. Growing with the type in about equal 
quantity in one spot, without the type in another, both situations being 
wet grassy margins of ponds. — A. H. Wolley Dod. Turp. and 
Poit. described this as a species. The correct varietal name I believe 
to be villosa, Schum. (‘Enum. PI. Saell,’ I, p. 7, 1801), a much more 
appropriate designation. — J. G. 
V. scutellata, L., var. Prostrate on mud in a small ‘ turlough ’ 
between Garryland wood and Loughmanna, Gort, Co. Galway, 14th 
August, 1893. Coll. P. B. O’Kelly. Comm. H. C. Levinge. 
Mr. Levinge writes, “ Mr. O’Kelly, the discoverer of this plant, has I 
believe got some under cultivation, and it remains to be seen whether 
it will stand the test without reverting to the type.” “The specimen 
is a remarkable one, and there seems to be no record of a similar form. 
The question is whether it is permanent.” — F. Townsend. 
V. Anagallis, L., var. anagalliformis. Dry ditch, on Odiham 
Common, N. Hants, 1st Sept., 1893. — C. E. Palmer. V. A?iagallis 
( 3 . pseudo-anagalloides, Gren. ‘FI. Jurass.’ — “ V. anagalliformis 
Boreau ad amic. ‘ FI. du Centr.’” — F. Townsend. 
Euphrasia gracilis, Fries. Kingshouse, Argyll, 26th July, 1893. 
Flowers beautifully tinged with mauve. Central lobe of lower lip 
very long and narrow. — E. S. Marshall. “Correct.” — F. Townsend. 
E. Rostkoviana (Hayne). Sub-alpine moorland, near Kingshouse, 
Argyll, 26th July, 1893. — W. A. Shoolbred. “ E. gracilis, Fries.” 
— F. Townsend. 
Euphrasia. Kingshouse, Argyll, 26th July, 1893. Flowers very 
small, white, with a pale yellow patch on the throat ; middle lobe of 
lower lip very short. Abundant on the heaths about Kingshouse, often 
associated with E. gracilis. — E. S. Marshall. Of the specimens I 
sent to Mr. Townsend, he refers some to E. gracilis Pries, of the 
others he says “a starved state of E. paludosa, Towns. (‘Journ. of Bot.’ 
Vol. 29, p. x 61. ) ? ” 
Melampyrum pratense, L., var. hians, Druce. Ashopton, N. E. 
Derby, July, 1893. — W. R. Linton. Derwent Dale, N. Derbyshire, 
July, 1893. — W. H. Purchas. Mr. Druce writes me that he believes 
the only character for this variety is the pure yellow colour of the 
flowers, which is very constant over considerable areas of country. As 
these plants always turn black in drying it is, of course, impossible to 
decide whether these specimens are correctly named. In any case, the 
difference does not appear sufficient to warrant a varietal name. — J. G.
