this gathering to Mr Druce in October, and he remarks ' There seem 

 to be two varieties here, both probably x verticillata, but the one 

 witli the long flowering stems is paludosa, Sole. The other is very- 

 young and may be an arvensis form.' The plants in this parcel grade 

 so imperceptibly into each other, and the wide based leaves are almost 

 exclusively on lateral shoots in mature pieces, so I suspect that these 

 broad-leaved specimeas are specially strong, mere shade-grown young 

 plants which would on elongating come nearer type. This will be 

 obvious in examining the whole parcel but not single sheets, so hardly 

 worth publishing. — G. C. Brown. " My specimen comes under var. 

 paludosa, Sole, but mixed gatherings should not be sent." — G. C. 

 Druce. " In var. paludosa, the upper whorls of the inflorescence are 

 collected into a spike. In my specimen the whorls are mostly 

 axillary. I should have thought best placed under M. saliva, L., 

 which some authorities consider to be M. aquatica x arvensis." — A. B. 

 Jackson. 



Origanum vulgar e, L., variety, floribus albis. Among debris of 

 old quarry, north side, Craig Breidden, Montgomeryshire, N. Wales, 

 Aug. 5, 1912. I sent a year or two ago to the Club a few examples 

 of this white flowered variety of the wild Marjoram, and now venture 

 to supplement them with others. — J. C. Melvill. "Yes, the var. 

 alhijlorum, Lej. It appears to keep distinct in culture and almost 

 certainly hybridises with the type." — G. C. Druce. "An albino; 

 I have observed it, though rarely." — E. S. Marshall. "To be met 

 with frequently on the Great Scar Limestone in the West Riding of 

 Yorkshire." — J. Cryer. 



Calamintha grandijlora, Moonch. Border of wood, Apesdown, 

 Isle of Wight, v.-c. 10, Sept. 3, 1912.— W. C. Barton. "Yes; 

 Satureia grandiflora, Scheele." — G. C. Druce. 



Calaminlha montana, Lam. Leaves in May ; flowers in Aug. 1912. 

 Gt. Wymondley Road, Hitchin, Herts. — J. E. Little. "Yes; 

 Satureia Calamintha, Scheele." — G. C. Druce. 



Calamintha Nepeta, Savi. Dry roadside bank, Haflield, near 

 Ledbury, v.-c. 36, Aug. 3, 1912.— S. H. Bickham. "Yes; Satureia 

 Nepeta, Scheele." — G. C. Druce. 



Scutellaria galericulata, L., var. puhescens, Benth. Stony shore, 

 Fife coast, v.-c. 85, July 20, 1912. Fide A. Bennett. — McT. 

 Cowan, jun. "If correct, this is a pretty poor 'variety,' the 

 situation (a stony shore) quite accounts for the not very marked 

 pubescence." — E. S. Marshall. " Yes ; although not so hairy as my 

 Galloway specimens ; but the degree of pubescence is not a strong
