would  like  flowers  before  being  certain. — A.J.W.  Yes ; 
this  agrees  admirably  with  my  series  (gathered  for  U. 
intermedia),  so  named  by  Prof.  Hugo  Gluck.— E.S.M. 
Mentha  rotundifolia  Huds.  Hicks  Mill,  Gwennap, 
W.  Cornwall,  v.c.  1,  Aug.  28,  1911.— F.  H.  Davey.  Very 
remarkable  for  its  slender,  unbranched  habit,  and  small, 
neat,  oblong  foliage.  I  have  seen  nothing  quite  like  this 
before;  it  may  deserve  a  special  name,  as  a  variety  or 
form. — E.S.M.  A  small  rather  elongated  leaved  form. — 
A.B. 
M.  rotundifolia  Huds.,  var.  Bauhini  Ten.  Orig. 
Norfolk.  Cult.  Edmondsham,  Dorset,  Sept.  16,  1911. — 
E.  F.  Linton.  This  has  the  most  extraordinary  calyx  of 
any  British  mint  I  know.  Dr.  Williams  (Prod.  FI.  Brit., 
pt.  7,  p.  874)  says  that  M.  Bauhini  Ten.  “exists  solely  in 
the  imagination  of  its  transcribers,”  but  quotes  M. 
Bauhini  Strail.  The  latter  authority,  however,  says 
nothing  in  his  account  of  the  Belgian  Mints  (1887)  of 
the  calyx  form,  but  simply  remarks  “  calice  velu.” 
Whatever  the  plant  is  the  calyx  is  very  odd. — A.B. 
M.  rotundifolia  x  spicata.  Hicks  Mill,  Gwennap, 
W.  Cornwall,  v.c.  1,  Aug.  24,  1911.  Not  quite  the  plant 
figured  and  described  in  “  English  Botany  ”  as  M.  crispa 
L. — F.  H.  Davey.  Yes;  what  we  used  to  call  “M.  viridis , 
var.  crispa .” — C.E.S.  Clearly  correct,  I  should  say;  an 
excellent  intermediate. — E.S.M.  I  agree. — E.F.L.  This 
certainly  seems  correct. — A.B. 
M.  (: rotundifolia  x  spicata)  x  rotundifolia.  Hicks 
Mill,  Gwennap,  W.  Cornwall,  v.c.  1,  Aug.  80,  1911.  This 
grows  within  a  few  yards  of  the  two  suggested  parents. 
It  looks  more  like  rotundifolia  than  rotundifolia  x  spicata , 
but  differs  from  the  first  named  by  its  large,  compound 
panicle,  reddish  stem,  and  sharply  serrate,  instead  of 
crenate,  leaves. — F.  H.  Davey.  Yes;  I  have  practically  no 
doubt  that  this  is  right. — E.S.M.  I  should  have  called 
this  M.  rotundifolia.  In  what  way  is  spicata  evident  ? 
I  presume  in  shape  of  leaves  only,  but  there  are  named 
forms  of  rotundifolia  with  leaves  elliptical  or  ovate- 
elliptical,  far  narrower  than  in  type,  and  quite  as  sharply 
toothed  as  this. — C.E.S.  I  cannot  distinguish  this 
(imperfect)  specimen  from  M.  rotundifolia.  The  short
