E. nemorosa H. Mart. var. ciliata Drabble. [481]. Penywilt, 
Brecon, 25 Aug., 1920. [486]. Marshy ground at foot'of Craig 
Gleisiad, Brecon, v.c. 42, 26 Aug., 1920.— -W. C. Barton. Both 
gatherings are correctly named, in my opinion. — W. H. Pearsall. 
E. nemorosa var. ciliata, Drabble.— PI. W. Pugsley. Yes ; both 
slightly ciliated and therefore var. ciliata (if Mr. Barton has 
satisfied himself that they are nemorosa— I think they are).— 
E. Drabble. 
E. nemorosa H. Mart. ? Downs, Goodwood, Sussex, v.c. 13. — 
Coll. R. J. Burdon, 26 Aug,, 1920— Comm. J. E. Little. E. 
nemorosa, var. ciliata. — W. H. Pearsall. I think all should be put 
under E. nemorosa. — H. W. Pugsley. 
Rhinanthus. Burra Firth, Unst, Shetland, v.c. 112, July 21, 
1920. — R. J. Burdon. R. stenophyllus, I believe. — C. E. Salmon. 
Mentha rubra Sm. [479]. Shingle by R. Wye below Erwood, 
Radnor, v.c. 43, Sept. 6, 1920. — W. C. Barton. A small starved 
state of Mentha rubra Sm., which has been growing in a dry 
situation and is abnormally hairy. I had under observation a 
fine colony about 18-24 inches high; in the droughty season of 
1919 the stems were only 2-4 inches high. I cultivated it 
during 1920, and it grew 30 inches high. — J. Fraser. I think 
not rubra ; the flowers are too small. It comes, I think, under 
M. gentilis L., and is near M. resinosa Opiz. Deseglesi, in 
“ Menthae Opiziana,” 1881, says that Opiz’s plant is M. gentilis 
Tausch = M. rubra Henning, and remarks : “ Differt a M. gentilis 
L., folia supra glabris ut utrinque pilis subhirsutus.” — A. Bennett. 
Yes, I believe rubra. I suppose the situation accounts for the 
stunted growth. — C. E. Salmon. 
Thymus Serpyllum L., subvar. angustifolius (G. & G.). [47 lj. 
Rocks near Penywilt railway station, West Brecon, v.c. 42 
Aug. 21, 1920. Mr. Jackson agrees. — W. C. Barton. 
T. Serpyllum L., subvar. linneanus (G. & G.). [472]. Cram 
Gleisiad, Brecon, v.c. 42, Aug. 25, 1920. Mr. A. B. Jackson 
assents to the name. — W. C. Barton. 
T. Serpyllum L. [473]. Hanging over rocks of watercourse 
down face of precipice at 1700 feet, Craig Gleisiad, Brecon, v.c. 
42, Aug. 25, 1920. A state due to desiccation, with modification 
of leaves and reduction of internodes on lateral branches. W. C. 
Barton. Yes, forms like this with the leaves much reduced in 
size are not uncommon in dry places. — A.B.J.
