4IO LAMIACEAE 



2. Ock. Near Cothill. Wantage. 3. Pang. Between Pang- 



bourn and Tidmarsh. Streatley, Pamplin. 



The white-flowered form (/. alha) I have seen near Abingdon, near 

 Reading, at Old Windsor, and Shottesbrooke. 



L. jmrpureum also occurs under two modifications ; one as the agrestal 

 plant with dark green foliage, reddish-purple flowers, and the other as 

 the plant of dryish soils and sunny hedge-banks, which has yellower 

 foliage much tinged with red, with smaller and paler-coloured flowers, 

 and leaves of a softer texture. 



In Suffolk I thought the tint of the flowers was brighter than that 

 of our Berkshire plant. 



X. purpureum is found in all the bordering counties.

Comp, Cyb. Br. 546. Syme, E. B. vii. 74, t. 1085. Nyman, 574. Fl. Oxf, 22S. 



Alien. Hedge-banks. An escape from gardens. P. June- August. 



3. Pang. In a grassy lane near a cottage, between Ashampstead and 



Streatley. 



It is quite naturalized in some islands in the Cherwell at Oxford, as is 

 the variety with spotless leaves — var. laevigatum (Linn. 1. c. 808, as a species). 



Ii. album, Linn. Sp. PI. 579, var. a (1753^, and of Gerard, 567. White 

 Bead Nettle. 



Top. Bot. 314. Syme, E. B. vii. 74, t. 1086. Nyman, 574. Fl. Oxf. 227. 

 Native. Viatical. Waysides, waste places, borders of fields, hedge- 

 banks. Locally plentiful and especially abundant in some of the 

 upland parishes in the Pang and Kennet districts, but rare or 

 absent from considerable areas of uncultivated ground. P. 

 February-September. 

 First record. Sonning, Mr. S. Rudge, in Herb. Brit. Mus. 1800. L. album, 

 Mator's Agr. Berks, 1809. 

 Although, as its name implies, the flowei's are usually white, 

 specimens may be found more or less suffused with a pinkish tint. 

 Such have been noticed by Mr. F. T. Richards at Standford Dingley, 

 and I have seen the same tinted forms at West Ilsley, at Twyford, 

 Clewer, &c. A narrow-leaved form or variety has been noticed near 

 Maidenhead [and between Slough and Stoke Poges in Bucks]. 

 The flowers are much visited by humble-bees. 

 L. album is found in all the bordering counties.
