Wettst.,  from  which  it  differed  by  its  more  copious 
pubescence,  giving  the  plant  a  greyish  appearance. 
Flowers  small,  white,  or  nearly  so,  excepting  the  yellow 
throat-patch.  It  comes  under  the  type,  I  believe. — E.  S. 
Marshall.  Very  characteristic  examples  of  E.  curta. —

E.  [curta  Wettst.,  var.  glabrescens  Wettst.] .  Pease 
Pottage,  W.  Sussex,  v.c.  13,  July  30,  1907.  A  form 
approaching  E.  nemorosa. — J.  W.  White.  This  is  a  mixed 
gathering.  The  small  compact  plants  with  obtusely- 
toothed  lower  leaves,  I  should  refer  to  E.  borealis.  The 
others  have  the  long,  spreading  branches  and  the  general 
appearance  of  E.  nemorosa ,  but  the  few  hairs  on  the 
leaves  and  calyx-teeth,  although  they  are  very  short,  may 
indicate  an  approach  to  E.  curta.— -C.B. 
Rhinanthus  stenophyllus  Druce  ( Alectorolophus  steno¬ 
phyllus  Sterneck).  (Ref.  No.  3934).  Plentiful  in  grassy 
places  near  the  Fillan  River,  about  a  mile  above  Crian- 
larich,  Mid  Perth,  v.c.  88,  July  18,  1914.  Note  the 
intercalary  leaves. — E.  S.  Marshall. 
Melampyrum,  cristatum  L.  Roadside  near  Cam¬ 
bridge,  Cambs.,  v.c.  29,  June  30,  1912 _ Coll.  R.  M.  Brown. 
Comm.  D.  M.  Higgins.  Yes;  but  specimens  subjected  to 
insufficient  pressure,  and  have  thus  badly  shrivelled. —

Orobanche  minor  Sm.  On  clovgr,  near  Great 
Wvmondley,  Herts.,  v.c.  20,  June  22,  1913.  In  1913  the 
plant  was  in  great  abundance  in  a  number  of  clover  fields 
near  Hitchin.  In  one  locality  on  the  G.N.Ry.  it  appears 
year  after  year  on  T.  pratense ,  Crepis  virens  and  other 
plants.  One  was  growing  on  Picris  hieracioides,  which 
is  plentiful  at  this  spot.  In  Norfolk,  near  Cockley  Cley, 
in  light  sandy  soil,  I  was  able  last  year  to  get  up  uninjured 
two  plants  with  their  hosts — Erodium  cicutarium ,  and 
Ecliiuni  vulgar e. — J.  E.  Little. 
Mentha  aquatica  L.,  [var.  subglabra  Baker] .  Surling- 
ham  Ferry,  E.  Norfolk,  v.c.  27,  Sept.  1914. — F.  Long. 
Not  glabrous  enough  to  match  some  examples  I  have  of 
this  variety  named  by  Baker. — C.E.S.  Not  the  variety, 
I  think. — A.B.
