Solatium nigrum, Linn., b. miniatum. “Coast near Whit stable, 
Kent, September, 1875.”— F. J. Hanbury. Two or three specimens. 
Verbascumihybndum) “Stone-quarry near Warwick, September, 
1875. Seems to be between Thapsus and virgatum , growing with the 
former.” — H. Bromwich. Evidently a hybrid, from the abortive 
capsules, and quite likely to be between the parents Mr. Bromwich 
suggests, as it grows with Thapsus. If sent without information, and 
judging from dried specimens only, I should have suggested V. vir- 
gatum and V. Lychnitis as possible parents, as the pubescence and 
shape of upper leaves approach those of V. Lychnitis. — J. T # 
Boswell. 
Veronica peregrina, Linn. “Newtondon, Berwick, August, 1875. 
I think it very probable that this will soon get as plentiful as V. 
Buxbaumii. (See Rep. 1872-74, p. 32.)” — A. Brotherston. 
Mentha sativa, Linn., var. subglabra, Baker. “ By a ditch in the 
Tavy Yalley, S. Devon, August, 1875.” This Mint appears to be in- 
digenous in this and a few other spots in the neighbourhood of Ply- 
mouth, but is, I should say, mostly a denizen. It quite comes between 
normal M. sativa and M. rubra. After arriving at this conclusion, I 
was pleased to find M. Deseglise remarking on a specimen of the Tavy 
Yalley plant : “ Je vois dans cet echantillon une Menthe du groupe de 
M. rubra , Sm., et non une M. sativa.'' 1 — T. R. A. B. 
Teucrium JBotrys, Linn. “ Boxhill, Surrey, August, 1875. This 
plant will probably ere long be much less plentiful in this locality, 
many acres of the ground in which it grows having been planted with 
young Firs, which in the course of a few years will no doubt smother 
the plant. Some of the specimens were collected among the young 
Firs, others on the open sloping side of the down towards the head of 
the valley. On the same day a friend and myself searched the Book- 
ham station (which should be Bagdon Hill, not Bagley Hill, as in the 
‘ Flora of Surrey’), but without success. I have also looked for it 
about Sanderstead, near Croydon, as Mr. Borrer many years ago, in 
the ‘ Phytologist,’ mentioned having been shown plants by Mr. 
Anderson, of Chelsea, as coming from Sanderstead, but I have not 
succeeded in finding it.” — A. Bennett. Also sent from a “ chalk 
pasture, Boxhill,” by Mr. Groves. 
Utricularia vulgaris, Linn. “ Moccas, Herefordshii e, September, 
1872.” — Augustin Ley. Hot given for the county (36, in Top. Bot. 
Utricularia neglecta , Lehm. “ Ditch near Penzance, Cornwall, 
August, 23, 1875.” — Mrs. E. A. Lomax. In Eng. Bot., ed. iii. , the 
leaves of U. neglecta are stated, on the authority of Reichenbach, to be 
not bristly even when young. In this Penzance plant, however, they 
are decidedly bristly, so there would seem to be some doubt as to the
