Bhinanthus major Ehrh. Moira, Leicestershire, June, 1916. 
— Coll. A. It. Horvvoocl. Comm. Nat. Mus. of Wales. Probably 
correct, but too immature for certainty. — A.B. I call this simply 
B. minor Ehrh. Corolla, bracts, etc., are all against major . — 
C. E.S. 
Or obanclie purpurea Jacq. La Corbiere, Jersey, June 16, 1923. 
— W. C. Barton. 
0. Bitro G. et G. [663] var. hypochaeroides Beck. St. Ouen’s 
Bay, Jersey, June 14, 1923. Kathdr young, but in good quantity 
this year. I counted over, thirty plants in one square yard of 
ground. — W. C. Barton. 
0. amythystea Thuill. St. Ouen’s Bay, Jersey, June 14, 1923. 
Plentiful in S. W. corner of the Island. This plant matches 
quite well Beck’s figure (Mon. 230), and answers well to 
Babington’s description. — W. C. Barton. 
Mentha longifolia Huds. Boggy meadow, Linton, Camhs., 
Sept. 18, 1923. — A. J. Crosfield. The leaves are rather more 
broad-based than usual, and perhaps show a passage towards 
var. nernorosa Willd. — C.E.S. Correct, representing the normal 
state of the sp., but the flowering poor. — A.B. 
M. piperita L., var. vulgaris (Sole). Swamp near a spring-head 
at Walton-in-Gordano, N. Somerset, Oct. 4, 1923. Gathered 
much too late to form acceptable specimens, but of interest as mark- 
ing the continued existence of a rare plant long given up as lost. 
See “FI. Brist.” p. 467. Found originally by Mr. I). Fry in 
1883, and cultivated by him at Corston, nothing more was seen 
of it until 1915, when the late C. Buoknall reported its re- 
appearance. Now, owing to the improved condition of the 
ground, it seems to have a good hold. Writing in “Gard. 
Chron.” of Oct. 28, 1922, on a recent discovery of vulgaris in 
West Gloucester, Mr. J. Fraser sketches its history and characters. 
The variety, however, may not be so extremely rare as is 
generall) supposed. I see, for instance, that Dr. Druce, men- 
tions it as being represented in his herbarium from at least five 
localities, neither of the above being included in his list.— J. W. 
White. As Sole made it a sp., the Sole should be enclosed in 
brackets. — A.B. 
Thymus Serpylhm L. Intermediate between subvars. linnea- 
nus and angustifolius G. A G. Quenvais, Jersey, June 12 1923. 
— W. C. Barton.
