. Flowers of the field. Botany. Euphrasia Officinalis (Common Eye-bright) 10. Euphrasia [Eye-hright) I. E. officinalis (Common Eye-bright). — The only British species. An elegant little plant 2-6 inches high, with deeply cut leaves and loose, leafy spikes of numer- ous white or purplish flowers, variegated with yellow.

An infusion of this plant makes a useful eye- water.—Fl. July, August. Annual. II.
