[v. Blattarla L. Again at St. Philip's Marsh, 1916 ; G. C. 

 Druce. Abundant about a fowl-run near Mangotsfield, G. ; Miss 

 Soper.^ 



Rliinanthus major ^hrh. vnr. plafi/pfrri/s Fries. The aggregate 

 species has been recorded twice or thrice, at intervals of years, as one 

 of the rarest occupants of the N. Somerset peat moors, and is not 

 known to us in any other locality. The summer of 1915 must have 

 been unusually favourable as Mrs. Sandwith and the Rev. E. EUman 

 found this form in several spots, and the Rev. E. S. Marshall came 

 upon it in profusion near Edington Junction and to the south of 

 Shapwick Station {Journ. Bot. 191G, p. 101). For the occurrence in 

 the same region oi R. major x minor Ehrh. {x R.fallax Marshall, 

 xAlectorolophus falla.v Sterneck), a hybrid new to Britain, see 

 Marshall in Joiirii. Bot. 1917, p. 187. 



R. stenophyllus Schur. New to the district. Gr. Compton 

 Greenfield ; and Yate Lower Common ; Miss Roper : naming con- 

 firmed by Mr. Marshall. 



Buphrasia campestris Jord. var. neglecta Bucknall in Jonrn Bot. 

 Snppl. 1917, 19. Plentiful along the southern exposure of the lime- 

 stone ridge that extends from Ashton Park to Clevedon. Hitherto 

 confused (by me) with B. hrevipila ; or with E. nemorosa the species 

 which almost invariably accompanies it and to which it is so similar 

 in habit and characters of flowers and foliage that it can only be 

 distinguished by the short glandular hairs. A recent gathering from 

 gravelly soil at Tyntesfield has the general appearance of E. gracilis 

 though densely glandular. Mr. Bucknall wishes it to be clearly 

 understood that other students of the genus may well take a different 

 view of this plant, but he cannot see his way to connect it with the 

 very distinct typical B. hrevipila as found in many parts of Great 

 Britain. 



Odontites ruhra Gilib. A verj^ pretty white-flowered form is 

 persistent and rather plentiful on a gi'assy roadside about a mile 

 beyond the Downend Cemetery, G. First noticed by Mr. H. J. 

 Wadlow in 190S. 



Veronica hghrida L. A])peared on the Somerset bank of the 

 Avon under Leigh Woods in 1912. 



Mentha piperita L. Is not lost from Mr. Fry's station at Wool- 

 lard. Mrs. Sandwith has rediscovered it. East Harptree, 1912 ; C. 

 E. Salmon. Marsh at Walton-in-Gordano, probably vulgaris ; 

 a BucJcnall. 



M. Bidegium L. Mr. Druce {Bot. E.vch. Clnh Report, 1910, 

 498, vouches for this from " VVrington, Somerset, on the edge of 

 a wood : Mi.'is Todd.'"' Certainly new to this district and possibly to 

 tlie county : but Mr. C. F. Denning tells me that when formerly 

 residing near Wringtoh he saw Pennyroyal cultivated in orchards 

 for medicinal use.
