Euphrasia montana Jord. [No. 502]. Widdybank, Upper 
Teesdale, Durham (very local), June 28, 1933. — H. W. 
Pugsley. 
Melampyrum cristatum Linn. [Ref. E. 24]. Near Langley, 
North Essex, Aug. 20, 1933.— J. E. Lousley. 
Mentha rotundifolia Huds. Meadow in Ashstead Park, 
Surrey, Sept. 16, 1933. Coll. A. L. Still, under my directions 
from this very old station. — E. C. Wallace. Correct ; 
tomentum fine. — -J. Fraser. 
Mentha spicata L. [No. 500]. Naturalised along wood 
edge near Fowey, E. Cornwall, v.c. 2, Sept. 14, 1933. The 
scent of these plants varied, but was not identical in any case 
with that of culinary mint.- — H. W. Pugsley. I agree. Very 
abnormal in the small size of the leaves, but it has been 
struggling with drought and its common enemy Puccinia 
Menthse. — J. Fraser. 
Mentha citrata Ehrh. Cult. Kew, from Northaw, Potters 
Bar, Middlesex, Aug. 30, 1933. The capitula of this Mint 
are always small, but this year they are smaller than usual, 
and so are the leaves. — J. Fraser. These specimens are 
interesting as illustrating the effect of cultivation on aquatic 
Mints. At Northaw I saw M. citrata growing four to five feet 
high, with large leaves : on the contrary the garden plant is 
much smaller, with poor coarse leaves. At Northaw the 
Mint is scarcely in flower before October, whereas Mr. Fraser’s 
garden specimens were collected in full flower at the end of 
August.— -J. E. Lousley. 
Mentha citrata Ehrh. Marshy spot near Chiddingford, 
Surrey, Sept. 10, 1933. The finest specimens I have seen. 
Scent when fresh unmistakeable. I cannot see any sign of 
connection of this plant with M. piperita. — E. C. Wallace. 
Correct, quite a typical form. — J. Fraser. Correct and still 
retaining its characteristic odour. In his Menthae Britannicae 
Mr. J. Fraser describes the leaves and other organs of this 
species as covered with short thinly-scattered adpressed hairs, 
and adds that the plant is more hairy than Smith’s description 
would allow, but that the hairs are very inconspicuous on 
calyx, pedicels, and bracts, except under the compound 
microscope. After examining Mr. Wallace’s specimens under 
a magnification of 66 diameters, I think that Mr. Fraser’s 
observation should be qualified by the substitution of “ even ’'
