Cornfields common, varying much in size. Mr A. Croall 
observes of this species that it is “ variable in the colour of 
the flowers, and the form of the capsule, which is more or less 
compressed, acute, obtuse, or obcordate, but so inconstant as 
to furnish no permanent character to distinguish the forms 
even as varieties.” 
Euphrasia, L. Eye-Bright.

The usual form of this plant is abundant in pastures from 
the coast to the mountain summits, varying in height from 
half an inch to a foot, and the stems from simple to exces- 
sively branched. Another form occurs on the Sidlaw Hills 
and Clova mountains, with darker flowers and foliage, gener- 
ally upright, slender, and simple, or sparingly branched. 
The corolla in this is partially pubescent, particularly on the 
outside of the upper lip. The two forms grow together and 
appear to the eye quite distinct.
