CATALOGUE OF PLANTS. 133 394 V. peregrina, L. PURSLANE SPEEDWELL. Dry places; frequent. Flying Mt. (Henry C. Jones); - Nor- wood Cove, etc. (Rand); - Seal Harbor; Great Cranberry Isle; Great Duck Island (Redfield); - Somesville (M. L. Fernald); - mouth of Denning Brook (R. & R.). All plants small and dwarfed, hardly branched, very unlike the common garden form of this weed. 395 V. ARVENSI S, L. CORN SPEEDWELL. Dry places; infrequent. High Head; Flying Mt. (Rand); - C. Little Cranberry Isle (Redfield); - mouth of Denning Brook (R. & R.); - Bar Harbor (Dr. H. C. Chapman). Appearing indigenous here, but said to be naturalized from Europe. 396 V. BUXBAUMII, Ten. Waste ground; rare. Norwood Cove (Rand). Adventive 48+ from Europe. EUPHRASIA, L. EYEBRIGHT. 397 E. officinalis, L. Dry ground; common in the southern part of the Island, and on the neighboring islands. Also Bar Harbor (W. H. Manning). If introduced, of very early introduction, but probably indige- nous. Very variable. A form from Sea Wall (Rand), having extremely small flowers with corolla scarcely spreading, and leaves less toothed and cut and more crenate, corresponds fairly well to the description of var. Tatarica, Benth., but does not agree with herbarium specimens. It appears to be intermediate between E. curta, Fries, and E. gracilis, Fries. The species, however, is so variable, and has been so subdivided, that it is impossible to name with any certainty its subspecies and varie- ties without a careful study of the type specimens. RHINANTHUS, L. YELLOW RATTLE. 398 R. Crista-galli, L. [illegible] Common in fields and on roadsides. If introduced, of very C, B, P, M. early introduction. Rdu X. G.S.K Best. Br. Calc. BR 4R.
