Welwyn, where Dr. Eales resided. During the summer I had the 
pleasure of seeing what I suppose to be the locality mentioned, or near 
it.” — Thomas Bates Bloat, 1872. 
Veronica peregrina, L. “ Plentiful as a weed in the garden and 
shrubberies, Newtonden, Berwickshire. Mr. Thom (head gardener), 
when I drew his attention to it, told me that it had been there for a 
very long time, and that he could not eradicate it.” — A. Brotherston, 
Sept., 1873. 
Orobanche rubra. “ Frequent in Lizard district. Very abundant 
only in Serpentine, as at Kynance, Cadgwith, and Poltesco ; but found 
also in no inconsiderable quantities near Polpar, and at head of 
Househole Bay ( i.e ., on both sides of the Lizard Lights), where the 
formation is, I imagine, basaltic.” — It. M. Rogers. 
Mentha rotundifolia, var. alopecuroides, Hull. “From a ditch by a 
cottage garden, almost in the station yard, Shalford, Surrey. This 
plant is most likely introduced here, as it also still grows in the 
cottage garden on the other side of the ditch.” — W. H. Beeby, Sept., 
1872. 
Mentha rubra, Sm. “ Daply Valley, Common Wood, Egg Buck- 
land, S. Devon. I consider it derived from former cultivation, 
especially as in one spot it is associated Avith M. ; piperita .” — T. A. 
Archer Briggs, Nov., 1872. Also “ from ditches, Beausale Common, 
WarAvickshire, Sept., 1874.” — H. Bromwich. 
Salvia pratensis, L. “ From the same locality from which it was 
sent last year by Mr. Linton. As far as I could observe it was not 
common, but pretty widely distributed over an area of four or five 
square miles — e.g., border of a wood above the ponds, Charlbury 
Park ; meadow near the head keeper’s house ; lane leading thence to 
Stonesfield.” — H. E. Fox. 
Salvia verticillata , L. “In a grass field of not less than two years’ 
standing, Leigham, Egg Buckland, S. Devon. About half a dozen 
patches of this conspicuous plant in this field in July last, where, as 
Trifolium hybridum occurred, it was probably sown with foreign 
clover and grass seeds a year or two before, though it is not exactly 
the sort of plant we should expect to find introduced in this way.” — 
T. R. Archer Briggs, 1872. 
Stachys germanica , L. “ Itchin Abbas, Hants. I first discovered 
this plant in 1851, in this neighourhood. The late Dr. Bromfield, I 
remember, came here from the Isle of Wight on purpose to inspect it, 
and was quite satisfied with its being really wild. The following 
year, the field, in a corner of which it grew, was ‘ breast ploughed,’ 
and I thought the plant was destroyed. In fact, it disappeared
