Loch  Fad,  Bute,  so  named  by  Mr.  Townsend,  and  differ 
greatly  from  Wettstein’s  figure  and  description.  They 
are  in  poor  condition  ;  but,  from  the  clothing  and  shape 
of  the  leaves,  I  believe  that  they  should  be  referred  to 
E.  curta ,  var.  glabrescens ,  rather  than  to  E.  nemorosa. 
Their  spreading  habit  will  not  do  for  E.  stricta.  [Later] 
My  specimens  have  decidedly  spreading  branches,  so  it 
seems  clear  that  the  gathering  was  a  mixture. — E.S.M. 
Yes,  the  British  form  of  E.  stricta  Host,  which  differs 
somewhat  from  the  continental  form.  I  should  not  name 
any  specimens  with  a  “  spreading  habit  ”  E.  stricta ,  even 
as  a  British  form.  Were  the  specimens  I  saw  the  same 
as  those  seen  by  Mr.  Marshall? — C.B. 
E.  scottica  Wettst.  Cwm  Idwal,  Carnarvonsh.,  v.c. 
49,  Aug.  9,  1910. — G.  Goode.  Yes,  E.  scottica  Wettst.,  but 
rather  hairy.  It  agrees  very  closely  with  plants  collected 
in  the  Lake  District  in  1905,  and  so  named  by  Mr. 
Marshall. — E.D.  Yes,  I  think  this  is  rightly  named,  but 
scottica  is  very  near  gracilis.  The  colouring,  coarser 
habit,  long  bracts,  and  capsule  all  point  to  E.  scottica. — 
C.E.S.  Yes ;  a  reduced  alpine  or  sub-alpine  state. — 
E. S.M.  Also  confirmed  by  Mr.  C.  Bucknall  and  Mr.  J.  W. 
White. 
Mentha  rotundifolia  Huds.  (1)  Whauphill,  Wig- 
townsh.,  v.c.  74,  Aug.  1910.  Sent  because  found  in 
Wigtownshire  again  this  year  {see  Report  1909-10,  p.  250). 
— Coll.  E.  K.  Higgins.  Comm.  D.  M.  Higgins.  (2)  Near 
Hexham,  where  the  North  Tyne  runs  into  the  South 
Tyne,  Northumberland,  v.c.  67,  Sept.  1910.  There  is  a  bed 
of  this  plant  about  6  feet  square  on  the  East  side  of  the 
river,  i.e.,  the  North  Tyne.  The  plant  is  well  established 
and  quite  wild.  It  grows  among  Broom,  wild  Roses, 
Elder  and  Blackberry  bushes.  New  record? — Coll.  E.  K. 
Higgins.  Comm.  D.  M.  Higgins.  Both  gatherings  correct.

M.  longifolia  Huds.  x  - .  Ditch  by  road  between 
Kimble  and  Ellesborough,  Bucks.,  v.c.  24,  Aug.  15,  1910. — 
F.  L.  Foord-Kelcey.  Probably  M.  longifolia  x  rotundifolia. 
The  inflorescence  of  my  specimens  is  small  and  unde¬ 
veloped  ;  but  the  influence  of  M.  rotundifolia  seems  very 
clear,  especially  in  the  foliage. — E.S.M.  This  bears  a  very
