the characters are not very sharply defined. But experimental 
culture of these forms is sadly needed, and as the distribution 
of the Thrift is a very interesting one, the results of careful culture 
and investigation could hardly fail to be of great value.] 
1733. Lysimacliia vulgaris L. with more downy leaves than 
usual in the Norfolk Broads 27. 
1749. Ligustrum vulgare L. var. or forma prostrata,\ Lizard 1, 
Dr. Ostenfeld. 
1765. Gentian a campestris L. as the type plant was seen on 
Lawers 88 and the var. baltica (Murbeck) at Southport 59. 
1811. Pneumaria maritima Hill ( Mertensia) was pointed out to 
the party by Professor Oliver on the shingle at Blakeney Point, in 
its most southern station in England 28. 
1854. Atropa Belladonna L. In great quantity near Hawes- 
water, Silverdale 69. Probably native. 
1878. Linaria repens Miller. Plentiful by the railway near 
Riccarton Junction with Senecio viscosus L.f Roxburgh 80. A plant 
which, like its relation L. minor, is spreading along the railway 
systems. 
1903. Digitalis purpurea L. As Professor Balfour pointed 
out that the plants of Ben Lawers are truly perennial, as is the case 
with those cultivated in the Edinburgh Botanical Garden. 
1912. tVeronica Anagallis L. The true plant, which differs 
from the common British plant V. aquatica Bernhardi by having 
bluish petals, by the racemes being longer and with more numerous 
flowers and the flowers with ascending pedicels, was seen in ditches 
on the Southport Dunes, Lancashire 59, and has also been gathered 
by the writer near Galway and on Hampstead Norris in Berkshire 22. 
It occurs with the upper part of the stem glabrous or glandular; 
the latter is the var. anagaUiformis (Boreau). V. aquatica Bernhardi 
has flowers usually white with pink veins, the flowering racemes are 
shorter with less crowded flowers, and with the flower pedicels 
nearly horizontal, the fruits are somewhat broader and shorter. 
This was seen at Cambridge 29, Norfolk 27, 28. 
1940. E, scotica Wetts. Professor Wettstein confirms Pro¬ 
fessor Schroeter’s determination of “ Euphrasia scotica ” from Ben 
Lawers as E. minima, an opinion independently arrived at by Dr. 
Ostenfeld. 
1944. Euphrasia salishurgensis Funck sparingly near Round- 
stone 16, abundant near Ballyvaghan, Co. Clare 9. 
1948. Bartsia Odontites Huds. The only form noticed in 
Norfolk 27, 28, Derby 57, Lancashire 59, Westmoreland 69, 
Cumberland 70, Perth 87, 88, 89, and in Galway and Kerry was 
Odontites serotina Bertol. 
1956. Rhinanthus Drummond-Hayi Druce was gathered on 
Ben Lawers 88. 
1968. Orobanche Hederae Dubry., Mallow, Killarney : at the 
latter place also as an albino form. 
1960. Melampyrum pratense L. var. Mans Druce. This 
beautiful form of the common Cow-wheat occurred plentifully in 
Honley Old Wood, York i63, and also most profusely at Killarney. 
This plant was unknown to the foreign visitors and it was considered 
by Professors Graebner and Schroeter to be a well marked sub¬ 
species.
