Edward  S.  Marshall.  Is  not  this  too  near  to  E.  latifolia 
Pnrsh.  ?  I  find  a  difficulty  in  distinguishing  it  from  small 
specimens  of  that  species,  except  by  the  rather  shorter 
hairs.  The  teeth  of  the  leaves  are,  in  my  opinion,  too 
obtuse  for  E.  curta,  and  the  calyx  and  capsule  of  a  different 
shape. — C.B.  Yes,  this  seems  to  be  E.  curta ,  but  the 
teeth  of  the  leaves  and  bracts  are  unusually  obtuse  ;  I 
have  similar  plants  from  Helvellyn. — E.D.  [Later] . 
This  is  very  near  my  recollection  of  Fries’  original  E.  curta 
(under  E.  parviflora  Fr.).  It  is  most  closely  allied  to 
E.  latifolia  ( arctica  Lange),  hut  differs  in  texture,  clothing, 
and  corolla. — E.S.M. 
E.  latifolia  Pnrsh.  (Ref.  Nos.  4115,  4117,  4118). 
Coast,  near  Melvich  and  Strathy,  W.  Sutherland,  v.c.  108, 
July  and  Aug.,  1915.  It  varies  much  in  size,  according  to 
the  situation  (sheltered  or  exposed). — Edward  S.  Marshall.

E.  foulaensis  Towns.  (Ref.  No.  4120).  Coast,  near 
Melvich,  W.  Sutherland,  v.c.  108,  Aug.  5,  1915.  I  regret 
that  the  supply  is  so  meagre  ;  it  was  backward  this  year. 
— Edward  S.  Marshall.  Yes.— C.B. 
Rhinanthus  major  Ehrh.,  var.  platypterus  Fr.  (Ref. 
No.  4201).  Locally  plentiful  on  the  peat-moor,  near 
Edington  Junction,  N.  Somerset,  v.c.  6,  Aug.  23,  1915. 
Seed-wing  broad ;  plant  glabrous.  Owing  to  its  being 
nearly  past  flower  the  corollas  are  small.  The  violet 
appendages  were  those  of  major ,  not  of  minor.  The 
latter  flowers  in  late  May  and  early  June,  here! — E.  S. 
Marshall. 
Melampyrum  pratense  L.,  var.  hians  Druce.  (Ref. 
No.  144).  Arthog  Woods,  Merionethsh.,  v.c.  48,  June  15, 
1915.  Corolla  deep  yellow,  mouth  of  tube  open.  Appar¬ 
ently  the  only  form  in  the  neighbourhood;  a  few  miles 
away  the  type  was  plentiful. — W.  C.  Barton.  Right. —

Mentha  verticillata  L.,  f.  between  ovalifolia  Briquet 
and  ballotifolja,  tending  towards  the  latter.  Abundant  in 
running  water  in  a  swamp  below  the  railway  station, 
Shandon,  Dumbartonsh.,  v.c.  99,  Sept.  29  and  Oct.  1, 
1897.  Named  for  me  by  M.  John  Briquet  in  1898. —
