It is far more common in Britain than Jongifolia, and is 
very variable. It may be recognised by its short, oblong leaves 
becoming shorter and more ovate at the top of the stems. — 
J. Fraser. M. pubescens And. fil. ( M . hircina Sole). For many years 
M. pubescens Willd. was in British books. Willdenow’s Mints 
were lent me from Beilin, and there is no pubescens among 
them !— A. Bennett. 
M. arvensis L., var. cuneifolia Lej. et Court. Cult. Kew, from 
Thames Banks, Hampton Court, Middlesex. This is allied to 
var. Allioni and var. praecox, but quite distinct from either. The 
leaves are lanceolate-elliptic, attenuate to both ends and of a 
beautiful grass green. I regret the leaves were suddenty spoiled 
by caterpillars. — J. Fraser. 
M. Pulegium L. Pond near Chobham, Surrey, Aug. 22, 
1923. [x. 53]. — J. E. Lousley. Yes; coming under the 
“ variety ” erecta. — C. E. Salmon. 
Thymus glaber Miller. Gravelly bank on Walton Heath, near 
Kingswood Church, Surrey [Ref. 1155], Aug. 29, 1926 — E C. 
Wallace. Probably Ronniger would so name it, but I find it 
difficult to separate from T. ovatus Miller. The latter name has 
been discarded by Ronniger in favour of T. pulegioicles L. — A. B. 
Jackson. Mr. A. B. Jackson makes T. glaber Mill, his T. ovatus 
Mill., sub. -var. glaber A.B.J., having a capitate inflorescence. 
The present plant, in which the whorls are separated, comes under 
his sub.-var. subcitratus — T. subcitratus Schreber. — J. E. Little. 
T. Serpyllum Linn., var. silvicola Wimm. & Graeb. Near Grand 
Stand, Epsom Downs, Surrey [Ref. x 86], Aug. 28, 1926. — J. E. 
Lousley. Material too poor for definite determination. — A. B. 
Jackson. 
Salvia verticillata Linn. Woodcote Park, Epsom, Surrey, 
Aug. 28, 1925. Growing near a copse out on the golf course, it 
has been known here for nearly ten years. Probably introduced 
in grass seed. — E. C. Wallace. 
Stachys palustris Linn. [Ref. x 54]. In the middle of a dry, 
clay, clover field about two miles from the nearest stream or 
water, by Burghfield Church, Berks, Oct. 3, 1923. This plant 
puzzles me. I can make it only S. palustris, which the seeds 
match perfectly. — J. Lousley. Long observation tells me there 
is nothing very unusual about the above habitat. It often 
grows in quite dry places, e.g. on the top of a dry bank near 
Porlock. As usual, one finds in White’s Flora of Bristol the
