this extremely local plant is not extinct, of which there seemed to be 
some probability from the habitats being destroyed by building operations. 
Vt rbascum Blattaria, L. (with cream-coloured flowers). “ I know of 
only one spot in Botley where this grows, and in this spot the area 
is extremely limited. It grows a good distance from any house, in the 
middle of a large plantation of fully-grown larches and Scotch firs, with 
some other plants worth mention, Pyrola minor , Epilobium angustifolium, 
Epipactis latifolia, Scutellaria minor , etc.” — G. S. Streatfeild. 
Mimulus gutlatus, De Candolle. In a stream on a wild moor, in Vale 
of Nidd, Yorkshire. Collected by II . Sneyd Kynnersley, and communi- 
cated by Mary Edmonds. The specimens which I have seen from the 
station for M. luteus on the Wooler Water, near Earl Mill, given on the 
authority of Mr. J. Hardy in Mr. Baker’s ‘ New Flora of Northum- 
berland and Durham,’ all belong to fl/. guttatus, and I observed this 
plant m 1870 by the side of the river, near the Crook of Devon, Kiuros- 
shire. 
Salvia pratensis, L. “ Charlbury, Oxon.” — E. F. Linton. Though 
Oxford has been known to produce this Salvia, doubtless few botanists 
have seen British specimens except from Kent. 
Plantago lanceolata. L., var. Timbali, Jord. ? “ A perennial, tufted, and 
perfectly glabrous-leaved variety of P. lanceolata, seemingly P. Timbali, 
as described in E. B., ed. 3, from a cliff at Port Wrinkle, Cornwall, 
where it is likely enough to be indigenous.” — T. B,. Archer Briggs. 
This is certainly not the same as the plant so often noticed in the south 
of England in fields of sown grass, but it agrees with it in its mode of 
growth, as the apex of the root-stock is divided into very numerous 
crowns jubu* ,the spikes have not that silvery white appearance which is so 
characteristic of P. Timbali. 
Atriplex patula, L., var. serrata, Eng. Bot., ed. 3. “ It is remarkable 
that this frequent weed of our tilled fields should have been unknown to 
Smith at the date of the fourth volume of his ‘ English Flora,’ published 
in 1828. Examples are sent for distribution, partly because the name 
does not appear in the London Catalogue, partly because the plant itself 
appears still to be imperfectly known. It is the A. erecta of several 
English collectors, and is very probably also the usual or normal state of 
the extra-luxuriant variety to which the name of erecta is restricted in the 
third edition of ‘ English Botany.” — H. C. Watson. 
Polygonum nodosum, Keich. (P. laxum, E. B. Supp., London Cat.).
