. Srythrm oentaurium, nana contracte. Near Helston, Cornwall, 

 July, 1888. — H. S. Thompson. Is Erythrma centaurium^ var. 

 pseudo'latifolia f. nana. — A. Bennett. 



Solanum Dulcamara, var. mannum, Bab. Frinton to Clacton- 

 on-Sea, Essex, September, 1889. — J. D. Gray. Yes. — A. Bennett. 



Rhmanthus Crista- ff alii, Linn., var. Drummond Hayi, F. B. 

 White. Clova, Forfar, July, 1889. This variety was plentiful 

 in the Clova district, especially on mountains : the valley scarcely 

 produced it. It invariably in my experience occurred with the 

 type. — Wm. R. Linton. 



Orohanche major, Linn. Bangor, July 5th, 1889. Growing 

 upon Ulex europceus. — W. H. Painter. 



Mentha viridis, Linn. Established in damp bushy places, 

 Woodchester, Gloucestershire, W., August, 1889. — H. P. Reader. 

 Yes. — A. Bennett. 



Mentha sativa, Linn,, forma. Near Hamworthy, Dorset, 

 August 26th, 1889. — E. F. Linton. Certainly a sativa form. — 

 A. Bennett. 



Mentha — . With hirsuta and sativa in wet places. 



Woodchester, Gloucestershire, W., August, 1889. — H. P. Reader. 

 Of British named forms this comes nearest to M. sativa, var. 

 paludosa (Sole) Baker, J. of Botany, 1865, p. 247, but differs in 

 being much more hairy, the leaves much more like hirsuta. It 

 bears some resemblance to M. Syhrida, F. Aresch., but that is 

 more like normal sativa, L. I see no reason to doubt that it 

 may be a hybrid between hirsuta and sativa, var. paludosa. Dr. 

 Focke does not record such a hybrid in his " PHauzen-mischlinge," 

 1 88 1. In some respects it answers to the description of sativa, 

 var. lanata, Sender, FI, Hamburgh, p. 321 (1851), but I have 

 seen no specimen of that form. I\Ir. Reader's specimen seems 

 to agree in some points with the three forms described by Opiz 

 as M. ohtusata, Opiz Naturalientausch, p. 194. 



M. cinerea. Seyn., p: 64, and M. Wiedenhofferi Bot. Zeit., 

 1829, p. J 15., so fully commented on by jNI. Deseglise in his 

 Menthas Opizianae : but without authentic specimens it is im- 

 possible to refer this British plant to either. — A. Bennett. 



Flantago major, Linn., var. intermedia (Gilib.). Shirley, S. 

 Derbyshire, September 13th, 1889. Seen also at Rodsley, and 

 no doubt common on arable land. Not previously recorded for 

 the county. — Wm. R. Linton. 



Amaranthus Blitum, Linn. Stoke-by-Nayland, Suffolk, Sep- 

 tem.ber, 1889. — J. D. Gray. Not the same as A. retroflexus. — 

 A. Bennett. 



Atriplex ■ . Near Hamworthy, Dorset, August 26th, 



1889.— Rev. E. F. Linton.
