Aug.  14,  1911.  This  was  named  for  me  by  M.  Briquet,  of 
Geneva,  in  1897.  I  have  met  with  it,  growing  very  freely, 
in  the  grounds  of  Dixton  Manor,  near  Winchcombe ;  no 
doubt  of  garden  origin. — Charles  Bailey.  This  looks  like 
a  sativa  form ;  perhaps  M.  aquatica ,  var.  subglabra 
Baker  x  arvensis _ E.S.M. 
M.  arvensis  L.,  [var.  agrestis  (Sole)] .  Scraptoft,  Leics., 
v.c.  55,  Aug.  9,  1910.  This  form  was  very  plentiful, 
especially  in  the  lower  and  damper  parts._W.  Bell. 
Leaves  scarcely  rugose  and  hairy  enough  to  be  good 
agrestis ,  but  perhaps  better  left  under  that _ C.E.S.  This 
is  perhaps  nearer  the  type  M.  arvensis _ E.F.L.  I  do  not 
think  that  this  can  be  separated  from  the  type  ;  Sole’s 
M.  agrestis  is  much  taller,  and  somewhat  larger-leaved _ 
E.S.M.  I  do  not  see  in  this  the  rugose  leaves  that  are 
characteristic  of  Sole’s  plant _ A.B. 
Thymus  Serpyllum  L.,  var.  [praecox  Opiz] .  By  the 
sea,  Killard  Point,  Co.  Down,  June  17,  1911 _ C.  H. 
Waddell.  A  narrow-leaved/  form  of  T.  Serpyllum  L., 
approaching  var.  angustifolius  G.  &  G.  (  =  T.  anqustifolius 
Pers.).— A.B.J.  y  J 
Salvia  .  (Ref.  No.  329).  Bank  near  railway, 
near  Newton  Abbot,  S.  Devon,  v.c.  3,  June  6,  1908.— Coll.’ 
W.  M.  Scott.  Comm.  S.  H.  Bickham.  This  is  S.  virgata 
Ait.  I  had  not  seen  it  before,  and  it  constitutes  an 
interesting  addition  to  our  introduced  species _ S.T.D. 
Lamium  maculatum  L.,  var.  laevigatum  L.  Roadside, 
Leigh  Woods,  Bristol,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  April  15,  1911, 
The  type  is  rather  frequent  about  Bristol,  but  this  variety 
is  decidedly  rare.— Ida  M.  Roper.  This  may  very  possibly 
be.  a  native ;  I  have  never  heard  of  the  unspotted  plant 
being  cultivated  in  Britain.  It  was  the  only  one  which 
I  observed  near  Marburg,  Hesse,  in  1880.  Rouy  divides 
L.  maculatum  L.  into  three  “  races  ”  (FI.  de  Prance,  XI., 
298):— L.  rugosum  Ait.  ( L .  maculatum  auct.  mult.;  Smith, 
English  Botany) ;  L.  hirsutum  Lam. ;  and  L.  rubrum 
Wallr.  (L.  laevigatum  All.,  L.  pro  parte),  which  is 
apparently  Miss  Roper’s  plant  “  Feuilles  irregulierement 
incisees-dentees,  ovales-cordees,  a  longueur  egalant 
envers  leur  largeur  a  la  base,  acuminees ;  verti-
