being very luxuriantly branched. The stem is very leafy up to the 
base of the flower-spike ; the lowest leaves are not cordate but are 
narrowed into the petiole, the leaf-edge being boldly and irregularly 
sinuate. The middle leaves gradually merge into the upper sessile 
clasping roundly ovate long pointed leaves and bracts. The groups 
of flowers are less approximate than in ordinary K nigrum. The 
style is purple, and thickens upwards to an orange stigma. I have 
not been able to find any good match at S Kensington. If this is 
a J . ingrnm form, it is only thus that the species occurs in Glamorgan, 
I believe ; and it is in every locality open to suspicion of introduc- 
tion. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Mimiilus guttafiis, DC. Banks of the Caddon, near Galashiels, 
Selkirkshire, 27th June 1908 — I. M. Hayward. This is the colour- 
variety of M. La?igsdorffii, Donn., usually so called. In the ‘ Pro- 
dromus,’ X. 1846, p. 370, De Candolle made his M. guttatus (‘Cat. 
Hort. Monsp.’ p. 127) a synonym of M. luieiis^^ L. ; and I suspect 
that the name M. guttatus.^ DC., ought to displace M. LMgsdorffii 
for the typical plant, which normally has the corollas somewhat 
spotted. But I do not know the date of Donn’s publication. — 
E. S. M. By the Vienna Rules Af. Langsdorfii, Donn., a name 
quoted in synonymy (Sims, ‘Bot. Mag.’ t. 1501, 1812), is not valid. 
M. guttatus, DC., would thus be revived with var., or forma, concolor 
for the more frequent wholly yellow-flowered plant. — G. C. Druce. 
Euphrasia nemorosa, Pers., large form, between Scaleber and 
Attermire, W. Yorks., Aug. 1891. — J. A. Wheldon. E. curfa, 
var. glabrescens ; exactly like several of my gatherings so named by 
Prof, von Wettstein. Mr. Townsend referred them to E. nemorosa ; 
but I believe they are curta forms, though in some respects simu- 
lating nemorosa. — E. S. M. Also from Rhydymynn, Flintshire, 
Sept. 1906. — A. A. Dallman and J. A. Wheldon. 
E. curia, Fr., forma. Sand dunes, near Freshfield, S. Lancs., 
V. c. 59, Aug. 1908. It only differs from var. glabrescens, Wetts., in 
its capsule being shorter than the caylx.— -J. A. Wheldon. Var. 
glabrescens, Wettst. — E. S- M. 
E. ? Great Orraes Head, North Wales, i6th Aug. 1892. 
This appears to be a distinct variety Euphrasia, remarkable for 
its compact habit, dark violet flowers, and the copper colour of the 
leaves when fresh. It agrees with E. cuprea, Jord., in everything but 
the villous calyx. I take it to be a varietal form of nemorosa. It was 
very abundant amongst short turf, and was associated with E. curta, 
var. glabrescens, IVettst.— J. A. Wheldon. Poor starved-looking 
material. I believe it belongs to E. curtagW var. glabrescens, 
Wettst. ; more glabrous than usual— E. S. M.
