H. S. Thompson. (1) The slender-stemmed Mint, with small 
leaves and fine serratures from Pensford Marsh is M . aquatica 
L. var. Ortmanniana (Opiz) H. Braun. (2) The large plant

Prunella vulgaris L. Colour forms in cream, mauve, and 
mostly purple- blue, groAving with P. laciniata above Cheddar, 
N. Somerset, July 10, 1931. Messrs. Bucknall and J. W. 
White did not consider similar plants sent to the Club in 1917

spelt. — A. J. Wilmott. 
Polygonum [patulum M. Bieb.]. Waste ground, Splott,

be a form of heterophyllum. The fruit is distinctly striate, 
not smooth as in patulum .. It is quite different from the plant 
from Newport, I. of Wight, named at Kew, and from Dr,
