distant  below  supported  by  stalked  leaf-bracts ;  Syme 
(E.B.  ed.  3,  tab.  MXXIX.)  shews  a  similar  head  with  two 
pairs  of  detached  whorls,  each  with  a  well-developed  leaf- 
bract.  In  each  figure  the  terminal  head  is  broader  than 
long,  i.e.,  “  depressed.”  But  in  Mr.  Bickham’s  specimen 
there  are  no  such  leaf -bracts  and  distant  whorls  below. 
The  lowest  bracts  are  small  amplexicaul,  cordate  acumi¬ 
nate,  not  like  the  upper  leaves;  the  spike  is  cylindrical 
blunt-topped,  with  the  lower  whorls  contiguous,  not 
distant ;  and  in  these  features  and  the  inflorescence 
generally  this  plant  will  find  its  counterpart  among  the 
forms  of  M.  piperita ,  var.  vulgaris  (Sole).  The  slight 
hairiness  of  the  stem,  leaves  and  calyx-teeth  is  here  quite 
in  keeping.  I  have  a  precisely  similar  plant  from  an 
allotment  near  Wareham,  Dorset,  a  short-leaved  form  of 
M.  vulgaris  Sole.  In  my  opinion,  whatever  may  be 
thought  of  Sole’s  views  on  hairy  clothing,  and  his  uniting 
a  hairy  form  and  a  glabrous  form  for  his  M.  odorata,  and 
then  describing  it  as  rather  glabrous,  it  should  be  re¬ 
membered  that  M.  citrata  Ehrh.  and  its  synonym  M. 
adspersa  Moench  are  both  described  as  glabrous. — E.F.L.

This  looks  to  me  like  a  hairy  form  or  variety  of  T.  ovatus 
Mill. — E.F.L.  A  similar  plant  to  this,  which  was  also 
collected  by  Mr.  Hunnybun  from  the  same  locality,  was 
sent  to  me  by  Mr.  Marshall  and  may  be  part  of  the  same 
gathering.  I  should  not  refer  them  to  T.  lanuginosus 
Schk.,  which  is  a  much  smaller  plant  as  I  understand  it, 
but  should  consider  them  somewhat  intermediate  between 
T,  Serpyllum  L.  and  T.  ovatus  Mill.  Dr.  Domin  would 
possibly  name  them  T.  ovatus  x  Serpyllum. — A.  B.  Jackson.
