of Derby, if it can be trusted as really belonging to the 

 present species. 



803. Mentha sylvestris, vol. ii. p. 236. 



Mr. Pascoe has seen a specimen, stated to have been 

 picked in Cornwall. 



804. Mentha viridis, vol. ii. p. 237. 



The south limit extends to Cornwall, on authority of 

 Mr. Pascoe's list. Mr. Curnow also reports it from the 

 same county. 



807. Mentha sativa, vol. ii. p. 239. 



It would appear from the remarks of Dr. Bromfield in 

 the Phytologist, vol. iii. p. 657, that this species is 

 no longer found in the Isle of Wight, and likely was not 

 indigenous in its single station. Nor does he give trust 

 to the M. sylvestris, viridis, or piperita, all three on

 Syme observed tliis pi'esent species by the side of the 

 Dee, near Kingcausie, seven miles from Aberdeen, in 

 1847. If the species be accounted indigenous in that 

 station, the county of Kincardine may be substituted for 

 Fife in the north limit.

The south limit extends to Cornwall, on authority of 

 Mr. Pascoe's list. Not wild in Scotland. " I am obliged

 a list kindly given to me by Professor Balfour ; " — C. C. 

 Babington, in Bot. Gaz. ii. 9. 



810. Thymus Serpyllmn, vol. ii. p. 242. 



This plant is now described under name of T. Chamae- 

 drys (Fries) in the Manual of Mr. Babington, on the 

 presumption that our British plant is not the true T. Ser- 

 pyllum of Linneus. It is somewhat remarkable that 

 Fries indicates the latter as being distributed throughout
