spreading or recurved, {—} in. long, obovate-spathulate, rounded at the tip, 
eradually narrowed into a short broad petiole or sessile, entire or obscurely

hairs, upper surface glandular-pilose towards the tip, under-surface glabrous, 
veined. Peduncles stout, erect, 1-3 in. long, 1-6-flowered, thickly covered 
with spreading glandular hairs, as are the bracts, pedicels, and calyces.

margins, and by the thick glandular pubescence on the peduncles and bracts. 
9, EUPHRASIA Linn. i7ss 
Annual or perennial herbs, more or less parasitic. Leaves opposite, 
toothed or laciniate or palmately 3-5-fid, on the flowering branches often 
insensibly passing into leafy bracts. Flowers in terminal spikes or racemes, 
or few towards the tips of the branches. Calyx tubular or campanulate, 
4-lobed; lobes equal or connate in pairs. Corolla-tube narrow below, 
dilated above ; limb 2-lipped ; upper lip erect, concave, 2-lobed ; lower lip 
3lobed. Stamens 4, didynamous, converging beneath the upper lip; 
anther-cells distinct, parallel, equally or unequally mucronate at the base. 
Style pilose; stigma capitate. Capsule oblong or ‘oblong-orbicular, com- 
pressed, loculicidally dehiscent. Seeds usually numerous, pendulous, oblong, 
longitudinally grooved. | 
A genus found in the temperate regions of both hemispheres. The species are 
extremely variable and difficult to characterize, and are variously estimated at from 
75 to 100, according to the different views of authors. [I have to express my indebted- 
ness to Dr. R. von Wettstein’s elaborate monograph for much information respecting 
the New Zealand forms, all of which are endemic.
