30 ADDITIONS TO THE FLORA OF BERWICK-TTPON-TWEED. 



the "banks of Langton woods. It is, I am persuaded, a good 

 species, tlioiigli it may be difficult to give technical marks. No 

 one who has seen it, will deny its claims, or unite it with M. 

 arve7isis." Mr Brown. 



ScROPHULARiA AQUATicA — Water Figwort. On the sides of the White- 

 adder below Claribad mill, plentiful ; Mr E. Dunlop. 



Mentha syxvestris — Horse Mint. In the neighbourhood of Blanerne, 

 abundant ; Mr Dunlop. 



Mentha crispa, Linn. — Side of Wooler "Water near Coldgate mill ; and 

 about one mile and a half above Langleyford, on the borders of 

 a rivulet flowing down from the Cheviot, and near its junction 

 with the Wooler Water ; Mr Mitchell. A specimen of this addition 

 to the British Flora being sent to Mr Winch, he pronounced it to 

 be the M. crisim of Linnaius, an opinion which has been since con- 

 firmed, and it is understood that a figure of it will soon appear in 

 the Supplement to English Botany. The following extract is 

 from a letter of Mr Mitchell : "I took the mint to Mr Bennet, 

 who has the charge of the Linnean herbarixmi. On comparing it 

 with Linnaeus' specimens it is M. crispa, as you mentioned : there 

 seems to be no natural habitat for it except in Northumberland, 

 for though Linnaeus gives Siberia, Switzerland, and Hartz in 

 Grermany, the first of these, by a pencil note of Sir J. E. Smith, 

 appears to have been founded on a very different plant. The 

 Swiss habitat adopted from Haller is taken from sjDecimens stated 

 by the author himself to be exotic : and the plant of the Hartz, 

 fijst noticed by Weber in 1774, appears, from the reference by 

 Hoffman of Ehrhart's plant to the same locality, to have been the 

 M. crispata.''''
