character. This plant has a facies of its own quite unlike our river- 

 side specimens of the Midlands. I believe it to be a good variety, for 

 which I suggest the name litoralis, characterised by its short 

 (15-25 cm.) stature, more crowded and somewhat smaller leaves, and 

 by its larger flowers with broader corolla-lip, and by its being more 

 pubescent than the type. I have it from the coast of Wigton, Kirk- 

 cudbright, Berwick, and from the shores of Loch Ness. Mutel, not 

 Bentham, is the authority for the var. puhescens. Even when our 

 Midland galericulata grows in brickwork, it is not like this plant." —

Prunella laciniata, L. Pyrford golf course, Surrey. Detected by 

 the keen eyes of Lady Davy, and kindly shown by her to me, but the 

 plant was then going over, as the corollas appear to be of shorter 

 duration than those of vulgaris. July 1912. — Lady Davy and G. C. 

 Druce. 



Stachys palustris x sylvatica, = S. ambigua, Sm. Wet place by 

 railway station, Coniston, N. Lanes, v.-c. 69, Sept. 1912. — J. Comber. 

 "Yes." — G. C. Druce. "Certainly; but considerably nearer to 

 S. palustris, which is unusual, according to my experience." — 

 E. S. Marshall. " Leaves much narrower and less cordate, and 

 petioles shorter, than in the plant figured in Smith's English Botany, 

 plate 2089, but agrees with the figure in Reichenbach Icones, vol. xviii., 

 t. 715, IT. This is probably a hybrid between the species named, 

 but much nearer >S'. palustris than >S'. sylvatica" — A. B. Jackson. 



Stachys '? Hordle, Hants, Sept. 7, 1912. Sent for the 



opinion of botanists. I have suggested S. Betonica x palustris on 

 the ground that the outline of the leaves seems intermediate, as well 

 as the arrangement of verticillasters in the head. It may be merely 

 an overgrown >S^. Betonica, due to the late season and excess of 

 moisture. — L. Cumming. " I fail to see the presence of S. palustris 

 in these specimens of Stachys officinalis, Trev." — G. C. Druce. " A 

 slender, drawn-up ^S*. officinalis, Trev. {Betonica, Benth.), looking as if 

 it had grown among bushes, or in long grass. No sign of S. 

 palustris.'^ — E. S. Marshall. "Surely pure Betonica. Where is 

 palustris V — C. E. Salmon. " I do not see how this can be separated 

 from S. Betonica." — A. B. Jackson. 



Galeopsis intermedia, Yill. Hedgerow of G. N. Ry., Camb. Branch, 

 near Hitchin, Herts, July, Sept. and Oct. 1912. — J. E. Little. 

 " Under var. angustifolia, Ehrh." — G. C. Druce. " G. Ladanum, L., 

 ssp. angustifolia (Elirh.) Gaud., forma foliis latioribus leviter accedens 

 ad ssp. intermedium (Vill.) Briq." — A. Thellung.
