Road, as being Armeria alpina, Willd. ; but for the present the 
matter had better be left in suspense until our more critical 
botanists have carefully examined and reported on these specimens. 
Mr. F. N. Williams says, “ Linnaeus is so inconsistent and 
indefinite in his use of the generic names of Statue and Armeria, 
that most botanists will prefer to follow Wilklenow, who separated 
the thrifts from the Sea Lavenders and called them Armeria." But 
in this matter Linnaeus’ inconsistencies are no justification for 
Willdenow’s ignoring the well defined genera of Limonium, Hill, and 
Statice, Hill, which Mr. Williams has perhaps overlooked, and it 
is flying in the face of the Vienna or Paris rules to use Statice in 
the wrong sense, i.e., instead of Limonium. 
l8og b. PULMONARIA OFFICINALIS, L., Var. b. IMMACULATA, 
Opiz. Rev. E. S. Marshall suggests that this varietal name repre- 
sents the presumably wild form in Britain of P. officinalis. 
ig4o bis. Euphrasia mini.ma, Jacq. Approaches nemorosa 
in some particulars ; it is distinguished by its smaller size, by its 
leaves being crenate-lobate, with obtuse lobes, and the margins 
revolute, the narrow bracts with short cuspidate serratures, by the 
small corolla, the upper lip violet, the lower yellow with lilac 
striations, the obovate or ovate-cuneate capsule, which when mature 
is larger than calyx. In the Alps the flowers are sometimes wholly 
yellow, and forms entirely violet or lilac-white have been found. 
Discovered by Miss Saunders on Exmoor, Somerset, between 
1200 — 1400 feet altitude. Wettstein considers this to be an 
English form of the widely distributed E. ?ninima, Jacq. 
It may be remarked that Ostenfeld, after a careful examination 
of many hundreds of specimens from the north, refers E. scoiica 
and E. foulaensis to E. minima, Jacq. There is no doubt that 
E. scotica is very closely related to it. 
1962 bis. Orobanche reticulata. Walk., var. procera 
(Koch). In the “ Monographic der Gattung Orobanche,” by Dr. 
Ritter Beck, Von Mannagetta, 1890, this plant is put in section v. 
Osproleon, Walk., which, with the exception of O. ramosa and 
O. purpurea, contains all our British species. Osproleon is again 
divided into i. Inflatac not British, and 2. Angustatae, which has 
7 tribes — C. Galeatae contains 42, O. caryophyllea ; D. Curvatae
