grown at Nortliwood, Middlesex, originally from a ditch near the 
Sheriff’s Kettle, near Glarvock, August 15th 1952. Tliis mint resembles

Mentha x palustris Sole. .‘K, Worcester; cultivated in my garden al 
Nortliwood, Middlesex, originally from Alfrick, August 16th 1952. These 
examples show an inflorescence more capitate than spicate. The two 
different forms of the inflorescence are found in this Worcs. locality, 
and the material in my garden has not changed in any way during two 
years. — R. A. Graham.

wood, Middlesex, originally from a garden at Morden, August 16th

stalked. Normally they are sessile or almost so. In this form the spicate 
inflorescence is well shown. — R. A. Graham. 
Mentha spicata L. emend. Huds. 91, Kincardine; from a garden, 
where it was grown for mint sauce, at St Cyrus (near Montrose), Septem-

is rather short and broad, so that the appearance is more elongate- 
capitate rather than the more usual spicate. — R. A. Graham.

in a roadside swamp about a half-mile east of the Feughside Hotel (near

inflorescence — the chief character for the variety. — R. A. Graham.
