seemed fairly constant in the plants in the above locality, and I 
have seen others from Hazely Heath, S. Hants, C. E. Palmer ; 
and to this I should put the plants from Surrey, Essex, and Norfolk 
which Mr. Williams (l.c.) names hirsnta. These capsules are fertile ; 
but the notch is occasionally to be found in them. Hopkirk’s plant 
is distinguished by its hairiness, its diminutive size, and its very 
narrow, almost strap-shaped leaves (see fig. in ‘ E. B.’ 985). These 
characters Smith and Sir W. Hooker say remained constant in 
culture. Is this plant always barren? Sir J. Hooker (‘Stud. P'l.’ 
301, 1884), says capsule seedless. Tracing this backwards we find 
that .^rnott (Hook, and Arnott, ‘ Br. FI.’ 301, 1885) says capsule 
abortive, but Sir W. Hooker (‘ Brit. FI.’ p. 6, 1830) says the flowers 
are often abortive. The capsule as drawn in ‘ E. B.’ appears well 
formed, and the entire top is not even truncate at the top as in 
Integra. Since writing the above I find that Beeby (‘Scotch Ann.’ 
36, 1889) met with “the form with truncate, not notched, capsule 
in plenty on rock at Hoofield, Shetland,” but he adds “ the 
withered flower stalk of the previous year bore deeply-notched 
capsules, indicating that the variation is due to some temporary 
cause.” Hooker says Hopkirk’s plant kept true in cultivation. 
This form should be tested in order to see if it reverts to type, 
or shows mixed characters on the same plant. — G. Clakidge 
Druce. Rachis and capsules with numerous stalked glands ; 
capsules notched in two specimens, undivided in the third, which 
is younger. I have gathered the same form, but do not know of 
any special name for it. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Bartsia viseosa, Linn. Wet places, Coverack, W. Cornwall,

Euphrasia Rostkoviana, Hayne. Meadows, Rosthwaite, 
Borrowdale, v.-c. 70 Cumberland. Altitude 320 feet. June 1910. 
— A. Wilson. This species is usually more branched : but I have 
gathered specimens from the hills near Aberdare which were quite 
simple. Mr. Townsend drew emphatic attention to the peculiarity, 
when he saw the Aberdare plant. — H. J. Riddelsdell. Yes. — 
Edward S. Marshall, 
Euphrasia brevipila., Burn, and Orem. I’enhallow Moor, 
Newlyn k>ast. West Cornwall, v.-c. i, September i, 1910. — C. C. 
ViGURS. My specimens are not brevipila. They are not of the 
habit of that species ; nor can I find any trace of glands — the latter 
point alone would not be enough guide, as there is a /. eglandulosa 
of E. brevipila. But the habit is decisive. — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
I can find no stalked glands, and the habit is not right, E. 
borealis., Towns., in my opinion. — Edward S. Marshall.
