BRISTOL FIELD-BOTANY IN 1901.

in the ground connected with local improvements is to be 
regretted. M. viridis, wherever met with in the W. of Eng- 
land, must, I suppose, be always an escape from cultivation. 
It has been seen by the roadside between Warmley and Wyck, 
at Conham, and at South Stoke. M. rubra, on the contrary, 
I am more than ever inchned to regard as a native in our 
district. I have never seen it in gardens, nor heard of its 
being cultivated. This handsome mint we have in many 
places : Nibley, Wotton-under-Edge, Black Mill at Bitton, 
Conham, Crew's Hole, by the Avon under Leigh Woods, 
Clevedon, Congresbury, Compton Dando, Litton, and in the 
green lane between Churchill Batch and Blackdowli on Mendip. 
M. gentilis L. In a rough field near Corston, 1889, D. Fry. 
M. sativa L. var. faludosa Sole. Plentiful by the river Chew 
at Compton Dando, agreeing well with descriptions and figures 
by Sole and others. 
Prunella vulgaris L. A white-flowered plant more hairy 
than usual, with narrow pinnatifid leaves, probably Brucella 
alba, PalL, has been noticed on the Mendips by Mrs. Gregory 
and myself. 
Nefeta Glechoma Benth. Mr. David Fry finds at Corston 
the well-marked variety B. farvi-flora Benth. It difl'eis from 
the type by its much smaller flowers, the tube of which only 
equals, instead of greatly exceeding, the calyx, by its smaller 
and more acute calyx-teeth and its subglabrous fohage, with 
more deeply incised teeth. 
Lamium furfureum L. var. decifiens Sonder occurred in 
a lane at Hutton and at Tickenham. 
Stachys alfina L. was discovered on the wooded hills between 
North Nibley and Wotton-under-Edge, in June 1897, by 
Mr. Cedric Bucknall. New to Great Britain. For a detailed 
description, and figure, refer to Journ. of Bot. 1897, p. 380, 
and 1898, p. 209. 
Ahen Labiatse of which I have notes are : Salvia verti- 
cillata, S. sylvestris and Stachys annua.
