efto o Dr. SMITH Obfervations on 
This variegated variety is liable to have all its whorls elevated on 
footftalks above half an inch long, in which cafe the braétex are 
more numerous as well as larger. In a very dry gravelly garden I 
have obferved, among a thoufand fpecimens, fome few more downy 
in every part than the reft; and in thefe only the calyx and flower- 
ftalks alfo were hairy. But this is a very rare alteration in Mints, 
nor do 1 know another inftance of it. The direction of thefe hairs 
was almoft as in M. fativa; whereas in arven/is they are ftrictly ho- 
rzontal: a diftin&ion that will always be found very important.
