Mentha longifolia Huds. Lane leading flora. Oastleton i om 
to Clifford, Herefordsh., v.c. 36, Sept. 4, 1916.— Coll. Mrs. C. L- 
Wilde. Comm. E. B. Bishop. Yes.— C.E.S. 
M. piperita L. Lane near Rowlstone, Herefordsh., v.c .6, 
Sept. 7. 1916.— E. B. Bishop. M. piperita, , a officinalis (Hull). -

M. ? agmtica x longifolia. Lane leading from Castleton harm 
to Clifford, Herefordsh., v.c. 36, Sept. 4, 1916. — -E. B. Bishop. 
The shape of the spike, clothing of calyx and pedicel, etc., seem 
to take this away from longifolia type, and the example before 
me may well be, as Mr. Bishop names it ( i.e . pubescens Willd.), on 
the longifolia side. I presume M. agmtica grew not far away ?— -

M. rubra Sm. (i) Roadside, Bourn, Carabs, v.c. 29, Sept. 30, 
1916. — A. J. Crosfield. I hardly know this in the field; but 
Mr. Crosfield’s plant closely agrees with the average of my her- 
barium specimens. There seems to be good evidence of M. spioata 
and M. agmtica-, M. arvensis (now supposed to be one of the 
factors) is not so apparent. — E.S.M. Yes; good ruhra I should 
say. — C.E.S. Correctly named. This seems to be a new record 
for Cambs. It is not given in Piuf. Babington’s “Flora of Cam- 
bridge” (1860), in Messrs. Marr and Shipley’s “Natural History 
of Cambridge” (1904), or in Mr. Evans’ “Short Flora of Cam- 
bndge” (1911). The mints seem singularly rare in a county of 
so much water and many ditches. — A.B. (2) Quarry ground, 
Newton St. Loe, N. Somerset, v.c. 6, Sept. 13, 1916. — Ida M. 
Roper. A very different form from the Cambridgeshire one, 
sent this year. Here M. arvensis predoi li nates ; M. agmtica is 
mainly traceable in the pubescence, M. sp eak- in the scent, and 
in the foliage of the main stem. — E.S.M. This cannot, I think, 
be placed under rubra. It is better, I believe, under gentilis (of 
which it has the pleasant scent), and perhaps var, iFirtgenima, is 
its correct position. — C.E.S. This seems correct. The corollas do 
not seem to he hairy, but the plant is rather abnormal, as the 
main stem has been broken off my specimen, giving rise to four 
slender branches. The hairs on the veins of the leaves (under- 
sides) are rather whiter than usual. — A.B. I certainly thought, 
on looking through the specimens, that M. arvensis predominates 
here.— H.S.T.
