notes:Euphrasis - ? Roborough downs vc 3, South Devon. September 1906. This plant was submitted to Rev.E.S.Marshall, who wrote that he was unable to name it, and that it was quite a new form to him. It has been sent to Prof. Dr.R. von Wettstein, who has not yet definitely named it, but suggests a form of E. Rostkoviana. Mr. Davy and i thought it might be E. campestris. The same plant was found a week after i found it by Mr. W. Tressider of Goonhavern, West Cornwall, in his neighbourhood - C.C.Vigurs. "The Rouborough common plant and another found at Porth Towan, Redruth, by Mr F.H.Davy have been pronounced to be the same, and a new species by Prof. Wettstein, who has requested Mr. Davy to publish it, which he will do in 'Journ. Bot' for 1907" - C.C.V
