I gathered this Euphrasia in 1891, and, being new to me, I provisionally named it, but for various reasons it has until lately remained neglected in my herbarium. I now take the opportunity of recording and describing it, as I still think it distinct; and I believe Prof. Wettstein inclines to the same opinion, though he may reserve his final judgment.
I only know Euphrasia americana Wetts. from Prof. Wettstein's description and figure in his monograph of the genus. It is described as a slender plant branching from the middle and above it, its bracts with a cuneate base, without glandular hairs, and the lower teeth aristate; the flower-spikes neither dense nor elongated.
