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.
