Rhinanthus  monticola ,  Druce.  Near  Braemar, 
S.  Aberdeensh.,  v.c.  92,  July  80,  1906. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
Orobanche  elatior,  Sutton.  (1)  Furze  Hills,  Hilders- 
ham,  July  2,  1906,  and  (2)  Cherry  Hinton,  July  5,  1906. 
Cambs.,  v.c.  29. — Coll.  R.  H.  Goode.  Comm.  G.G.  No 
doubt  correct. — E.S.M. 
Mentha  hirsuta,  Huds.  Quenby,  Leics.,  v.c.  55,  Aug. 
1905.  A  few  specimens  of  this  very  handsome  form  are 
sent  as  being  of  more  luxuriant  growth  than  usual,  and 
differing  in  some  respects  in  the  size  and  general  outline 
and  colour  of  the  leaves. — A.  R.  Horwood.  Round  Ledbury 
it  often  grows  as  large. — S.H.B.  Mentha  hirsuta ,  Huds. 
— E.F.L. 
M.  sativa,  L.,  var.  paludosa  (Eng.  Bot.).  Sheep- 
wash  Green,  Freshwater,  I.-W.,  v.c.  10,  Sept.  25,  1906. — 
E.  W.  Hunnybun.  Yes. — A.  Ley.  This  mint  seems  to  me 
just  what  we  call  paludosa,  a  var.  more  spicate-verticillate 
than  M.  hirsuta  and  less  so  than  M.  sativa. — E.F.L.  in  litt. 
M.  aquatica  x  arvensis.  I  doubt  whether  it  is  worth 
while  to  keep  up  the  varietal  name  for  this  polymorphic 
hybrid. — E.S.M. 
Origanum  vulgare,  L.,  var.  megastachyum,  Link. 
Rough  bank,  Symonds  Yat,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  84,  July  27, 
1905. — S.  H.  Bickham.  (See  B.E.C.  Rept.  1905,  p.  183). 
O.  vulgare ,  L.,  var.  Queried  on  the  labels  as  var.  c. 
humile ,  DC.  Prod,  xii.,  p.  193,  =  O.  humile ,  Poir.  On  the 
flat  tops  of  the  cliffs,  and  on  the  sides  of  the  railway, 
above  the  Warren,  Folkestone,  S.E.  Kent,  v.c.  15,  Sept.  27, 
and  Oct.  3,  1906.  This  form  occurs  in  several  places  on 
the  cliffs  above  Folkestone  Warren.  It  grew  with  the 
type,  and  with  var.  b.  megastachyum ,  Link,  and  was 
conspicuously  distinguishable  from  both  by  its  dense  flat- 
topped  growth  as  though  it  had  been  cropped  by  shears,  by 
its  dwarf  habit,  and  by  its  greater  hairiness.  It  does  not 
match  any  British  or  Continental  examples  in  my  her¬ 
barium,  and  Mr.  A.  B.  Jackson,  in  the  B.E.C.  Report  for 
1906,  p.  252,  says  that  it  is  quite  different  from  Continental 
examples  of  O.  humile ,  Poir,  in  the  Kew  Herbarium.  It 
wants  a  name. — Charles  Bailey.  Hardly,  I  think,  the  var. 
humile,  of  which  it  says  (in  DC.  Prod.)  “  glabriusculum .” 
Just  a  stunted  dwarf  state  of  the  type,  I  think. — C.E.S.  I
