my Walton sativa with var. crenata Briq. — Jas. W. White. 
Same as M. paludosa Sole. — A. Bennett. The small, ovate 
leaves with the shallow crenatures directed forward and lying 
quite close to the edge of the leaf are quite like those which 
Briquet named M. verticillata Linn. var. crenata Briq. I 
would not consider var. paludosa Sole synonymous with this. 
Sole’s plate 22 shows much larger, oblong-elliptic leaves, 
and the terminal verticils crowded into a spike. Smith had 
specimens from Sole, and said that the spike was not constant. 
I have specimens of x M. verticillata Linn, with a spicate 
apex to the inflorescence, also a similar state in x verticillata 
Linn. var. ovalifolia Briq., and have seen it imitated occasion- 
ally by several other varieties of the hybrid.— J. Fraser. 
Mentha aquatica Linn., nearest var. acuta Briq. Marsh 
near Coldharbour village, Surrey. Ref. Y 148. This plant 
had reddish upper parts. — I was unable to make a larger 
gathering as it was only just flowering. August 21, 1927. — 
J. E. Lousley. Yes ; just the variety named acuta Briq., 
but a much older name is M. aquatica Linn. var. major Sole 
(1798). The leaves are longer, more attenuate at the apex, 
narrower, and more narrowed to the somewhat cuneate 
base than the more typical M. aquatica. — J. Fraser. 
Stachys alpina L. Open woodland above Wotton-under- 
Edge, W. Glos., at about 600 ft., July 4, 1927. — H. S. 
Thompson. 
Galeopsis Tetrahit L. (nutlets). Sootfield Green, Herts., 
Sept. 13, 1926.— J. E. Little. G. speciosa does not occur in 
the Hitchin district, so that there is no difficulty in obtaining 
G. Tetrahit in late fruit. — J. E. Little. 
Galeopsis — . (1 packet only). Wretton Fen, W. 
Norfolk, Oct. 14, 1925. — J. E. Little. Comparing with 
undoubted G. Tetrahit, in the Wretton plant the calyx is 
ess strongly ribbed, the tube actually longer, the teeth 
actually and relatively shorter. The nut is slightly more 
elongate, but not more “ convex above neutrally ” (Hooker) 
and is spotty brown in colour. The inner face is marked 
with veins. — J. E. Little. 
Galeopsis speciosa Mill, (nutlets). Littleport, Cambs., 
Sept. 9, 1927. — J. L. Luddington and J. E. Little. These 
fruits were obtained from plants still in flower. In the case 
of plants past flower and leaf it is very difficult to appreciate
