Killin, Perthshire, July 16, 1930.— Leg. K. D. Little. Comm. 
J. E. Little. E. micrantha Reichb. — W. H. Pearsall. Correct 
as previously described ; but in Pugsley’s recent “ Revision 
of the British Euphrasiae ” this is now E. micrantha Reichb. 
J. Fraser. Yes ; E. micrantha Reichb. — E. Drabble. Yes ; 
E. micrantha Reichb.— H. W. Pugsley.

Lurgashall, W. Sussex, Aug. 2, 1930. — R. J. Burdon.

X Mentha hircina (Hull) Fraser var. hirsuta Fraser. Cult. 
Kew, from The Dour, New Aberdour, N. Aberdeen, Aug. 8, 
1928. The whole plant of the variety is much more hairy 
than the original M. hircina Hull, and in the wild state the 
leaves are tomentose beneath. — J. Fraser. 
X Mentha verticillata Linn. var. [congesta Fraser]. Ditch 
in lane near Hedge Court Millpond, Surrey, Aug. 28, 1927. — 
E. C. Wallace. See Report B.E.C., 1928, for comment by 
J. Fraser. Correctly named so far as my original descriptions 
are concerned, but by the time I had collected eighteen 
sheets from different places I found that all of them fitted 
into M. verticillata var. paludosa Sole. The latter’s figure in 
Menthae Britannic-ae, PI. 22, shows a subspicate inflorescence, 
but the plant rarely does this even in the same spot, and 
never in hedges nor the garden. I corrected this in the 
Report for 1928, p. 809. The description is much as in the 
original with some extra explanations. — J. Fraser. 
X Mentha rubra Huds. By pond on Coxe’s Green, near 
Chobham, Surrey, Sept. 7, 1930. A form with very rounded 
bracts. [Ref. B 35]. — J. E. Lousley. Hudson’s name is 
older than Smith’s, but Hudson said “ caulibus diffusis,” 
whereas the stems of M. rubra are erect, and this introduces 
an element of doubt. On the other hand he may have been 
right, and his plant the victim of an accident. Briquet 
named it M. rubra var. laevifolia, that is, smooth leaved, 
but that is the type described by Smith. The rounded bracts 
are those of typical M. rubra. — J. Fraser.
