ocrnotes:On the sandhills at Southshore, Blackpool, W. Lancashire, 2nd June, 1887. Sent to show the great extremes in habit and colouring. In the early summer this plant completely covers the sandhills, and all colours, cream, yellow, pale lavender, light and dark blue, and purple, grow intermixed. In most other stations where I have seen this plant it affects flat, damp, sandy areas, and usually presents a uniformity of habit and colour. At Southshore, St. Anne's, and Lytham, all on the West Lancashire coast, it is quite as frequent on the dry sides of the sandhills as in their hollows.--Charles Bailey. I have failed to get distinctive names, or even definite opinions, on these violas from the referees to whom they were sent.--G. N.
