S. aun'culrd/olia, Yalil. Ladram Bay, S. Devon, July, 1891. — 

 C. Cotton. 



S. auriculcefolia, Vahl. Near Baldoyle Railway Station, Go. 

 Dublin, August. — H. L. Levinge. 



-S^. auriculmfoUa, Yahl. "Woolacombe, N. Devon, Aug. 1891. — 

 A. Crosfield. All the above Statices belong to the same form, 

 they are the S. linervosa, G. E. Sm., var. intermedia, Syme. 

 Most, if not all, the West of England plants seem this form ; it 

 has much thicker heads of flowers than the East Coast plant. 

 Statice auriculcefolia, Yahl., is S. densijlora, Gussone, according to 

 Nyman. Mr. Bentham, in the first edition of his Handbook, 

 referred our plant to Yahl., but in his second edition he refers it 

 to his S. auriculcefolia, Bentham (Cat. pi. Pyrenees et Bas 

 Languedoc, p. 163, 1826); but Nyman refers this to 8. lych- 

 nidifolia, Giraud, Ann. Sc. Nat., ser. II., p. 1 8, which is not 

 known as a British plant. I have not been able as yet to see 

 Mr. Bentham' s specimens, but he probably considered this last 

 and our occidentalis as varieties of one species. — A. B. 



Frimnla veris X vulgaris. Towlasdale, Thirsk, Yorks., May, 

 1891.— A. B. Hall. The Common Oxlip, not the Cowslip Oxlip. 

 —A. B. 



Veronica scutellata, L., v. parmularia, Tur. and Poit. Coot 

 Lake, Gorraire, near Thirsk, Yorks., July, 1887. — A. B. Hall. 

 Mr. Druce, in J. of Bot., considers this the var. puhescens of 

 Gray (Nat. Acc. of Brit. Plants, 1821, p. 207), but his name was 

 under V. angmtifolia. Gray. I do not understand Mr. Druce's 

 reference to Gray (1821), as though the work of Turpin and 

 Poiteau (Flore Parisienne, 1808), was unfinished still that of 

 18 1. ^ remains ; anyhow Gray's name is untenable. Schumacher 

 in his Enum. pi. Saellandiae (1803) makes this the type of the 

 species, as a. villosa ; but in England it is certainly the rarer 

 form.— A. B. 



Mentha piperita, Huds., v. officinalis (Hull). Near Welton, 

 Yorks., E., Sept., 1891.— C. Waterfall. This should stand as 

 M. piperata, Huds., a. officinalis (Sole). Hull described it as a 

 species. Sole as a variety. — A. B. 



M. arvensis, L., var. Horton, Stafi's., August, 1890. — W. H. 

 Painter. I should call this a sativa form ; the calyx is not truly 

 campanulate or the teeth deltoid. — A. B. 



Plantago lanceolata, L., v. Timhali, lord. ? Clover field, Groton, 

 Sufi'olk, Aug., 1891.— H. P. Eeader. Probably so, but difficult 

 to say without the basal leaves and root crown. — A. B. 



Salicornia radicans, Sm., Porchester, Hants., August, 1891. — 

 J. Yaughan. S. herbacea, L., var. ramosissima, Woods, not 

 8. radicans, Sm. — A. B.
