perhaps, var. hitegerrimum Doll., given in Rouy's Flore de France, 

 vol. xi., p. 1 25 (1909), with the characters ' bractees toutes tres entieres.' 

 Yar. ericetorum Oliver is also described as hispid, a character which 

 does not apply to Mr Marshall's plant, which can only be described as 

 finely pubescent. The hairs on the stem are arranged in two opposite 

 lines on each internode, and the position of these lines of hairs 

 alternate with those of the internodes above and below." — C. E. 

 Britton. 



Melampyrum pratense L., var. ericetorum Oliver. Grassy knoll, 

 Inch Garth, near Keltneyburn, Mid Perth, v.-c. 88, July 6, 1913.— 

 W. A. Shoolbred. " I was with Dr Shoolbred when he collected 

 this, and I believe I suggested the name ericetorum. This, I think, 

 will do very well. Whole plant hispid ; flowers very pale at the base; 

 leaves linear lanceolate ; bracts either entire or toothed ; plant often 

 quite as robust as in type. Closely allied to var. montanum, which, 

 indeed, may be but a slender form of it with bracts always entire." 

 C. E. Salmon. " Probably a small form of this variety, though 

 shading off to var, montanum. Yar. ericetorum is often as large as 

 typical pratense, as the describer emphasises." — A. Bennett. " I have 

 sent this to M. Beauverd, who is making a special study of the group. 

 The amount of pubescence varies as much as the leaf cutting. This is 

 a common form of the Scottish moors, but I hesitate to put it to 

 Oliver's plant."— G. C. Druce. 



Orohanche Ritro Gren. and Godr., var. hypochoeroides (G. Beck.). 

 On Hypochceris radicata in the sand hills at St Ouen's Bay, Jersey, 

 it was only growing in one place.— A. Webster. "See Report, 1907, 

 258, where I gave it varietal rank. This is from the ' locus classicus.' " 

 — G. C. Druce. 



Orohaiiche rubra Sm. Poltexo, Lizard, W. Cornwall, June 22, 

 1913. Bab. Ma7i. Ed. ix., p. 301, says :— "sepals 1-veined, lanceolate, 

 attenuate, exceeding the corolla-tube ; " these sepals are, however, 

 much shorter than the corolla tube. Passed by Mr A. Bennett. — C. 

 C. YiGURS. " The older names are 0. alba Steph. and 0. Epithymum 

 DC."— G. C. Druce. 



Orobanche Hederae Duby. Near Meadfoot, Torquay, S. Devon, 

 June 21, 1913.— C. Waterfall. 



Fiyiguicida lusitanica L. Lustleigh, Dartmoor, S. Devon, July 

 16, 1913.— C. Waterfall. 



Mentha rotundifolia Huds. Ditch-side, Rescobie, Forfar, v.-c. 90, 

 Sept. 21, 1913. — R. and M. Corstorphine. "Yes, our usual form of 

 it, coming under a rugosa Wirtg. according to Rouy's arrangement
