should  be  placed  under  that  varying  hybrid,  arvensis  x 
aquatica  ( =  sativa ),  of  which  there  are  named  narrow¬ 
leaved  states — C.E.S.  This  seems  to  answer  fairly  well  to 
Strail’s  description  in  “  Bull.  Soc.  roy.  hot.  Belg.”  1887,  p. 
119 — A.B.  F 
M.  sativa  L.,  var.  obtusata  (Opiz).  Banks  of  Isla, 
Alyth,  E.  Perthsh.,  v.c.  89,  Aug.  1911 _ Me  T.  Cowan,  junr. 
This  seems  to  agree  with  Strail’s  description,  but  the 
leaves  are  less  dentate _ A.B. 
M.  gracilis  Sm.,  var.  cardiaca  Baker.  Roadside  near 
Ripley,  Surrey,  v.c.  17,  Aug.  31,  1912.  These  specimens 
have  the  leaves  less  hairy  on  the  veins  beneath  than  in 
Baker’s  type  in  Herb.  Mus.  Brit.,  but  agree  in  other 
particulars  with  the  description  and  plate  in  “  Jl.Bot.”  1865, 
p.  245.  I  understand  Mr.  J.  Fraser  discovered  this 
interesting  mint  in  this  Ripley  station  (see  Rep.  Bot.  Ex. 
Club  Brit.  Isles,  1911,  p.  113) — C.  E.  Salmon.  This  seems 
to  represent  the  mint  so  called  by  Mr.  Baker  in  his  paper 
in  “  Jl.  Bot.”  1865.— A.B. 
Scutellaria  galericulata  L.,  var.  pubescens  Benth. 
Stony  shore,  Fife  Coast,  v.c.  85,  July  1912  ( fide  A.  Bennett). 
— McT.  Cowan,  junr.  A  state,  due  to  the  situation,  rather 
than  a  valid  variety _ E.S.M. 
Stachys  germanica  L.  Orig.  Green  lane  between 
Woodstock  and  Rousham,  Oxon.  Cult.  Ledbury,  July  23, 
1912 — S.  H.  Bickham. 
Plantago  arenaria  W.  &  K.  Allotment  ground,  Ashley 
Hill,  Bristol,  W.  Glos.,  v.c.  34,  Aug.  10,  1912.  The  plant 
differs  from  other  gatherings  I  have  made  in  its  luxuriant 
floral  leaves :  but,  if  European,  it  cannot  be  any  other 
species — Ida  M.  Roper.  Correct _ E.G.B. 
Ghenopodium  leptophyllum  Nutt.  ( fide  G.  C.  Druce). 
Waste  heap  of  London  rubbish,  N.  of  Welwyn  Tunnel, 
Herts.,  v.c.  20;  Sept.,  Oct.  &  Nov.  1912.  Habit  very 
different  from  G.  album,  and  possibly  a  distinct  species _ 
J.  E.  Little.  This  is  Ghenopodium  album,  var.  leptophyllum 
Moquin  in  DC.  Prodr.  xiii,  part  ii,  71  (1849),  naturalised  or 
adventitious  in  Europe  from  North  America.  The  name 
“G.  leptophyllum  Nuttall,”  often  seen  in  systematic  works,
