Mentha alopeciiroides, Hull. A large jjatcli on both sides of the 
College water, a short distance above Heathpool, Cheviotland ; 
probably an escape from some of the shepherd’s gardens, October, 
1877. — xAndrew Brotherston. 
M. pubescens, Willd. Brookside, near Mitcheldean, West 
Gloucester, September 13, 1877. — Augustin Ley. Mentha pubescens 
I call M. hirsuta, L., and do not separate the forms given in the 
‘ Students’ Flora,’ even if they are distinguishable from M. aquatica. 
Is hirsuta a slip of the pen for aquatica ? Of coimse if hirsuta and 
pubescens be the same, a plant cannot be nearer one than the other. 
M. gracilis, b. “ Cardiaca.'' Shrewley Common, Warwickshke, 
September 12, 1877. — K. L. Baker. Haseley Common, Warwick- 
shire, September, 1877. — H. Bromwich. I think not M. Cardiaca. 
— C. C. Babington. 
“ Thymus Serpyllum, approaching Chaimcdrys.” — Barnes, Kelso, 
Koxburgh, August, 1876. A very curious intermediate. I called 
it Chamadrys when I saw it first, but now think it is eu-Serpyllum. 
— J. T. Boswell. I doubt if the two bits are from the same j)lant. 
— C. C. Babington. 
Stachys annua, L. Downs near Seveiioaks, Kent, August 4, 
1873. Coll, by Jas. Fletcher ; com. by W. H. Beeby. The ‘ 
enclosed specimen was collected by my friend, Mr. John Fletcher, 
who is now in Canada. He writes me that it was growing 
abundantly on the open downs. — W. H. Beeby. 
Teucrium Botrys, Linn. Chalky field in the iiarish of Selsdon, 
near Croydon, Surrey. Coll, by Mr. J. Flower, of Croydon, in 
1877 ; com. by A. Bennett. Found in good quantity. Selsdon 
adjoins Sanderstead, whence the plant was reported many years 
ago. — A. Bennett. 
Salicornia radicans, L. Dawlish Warren, S. Devon, August, 
1877.— W. Moyle Eogers. 
liumex — hybrid between conglomeratus and pidcher ? approach- 
ing qjulcher. Seed from Tothill, Plymouth (see B. E. C. Eep., 
1872-4, p. 34), September, 1877. — J. T. Boswell.’ I wish Dr. 
Boswell had given us a root-leaf of this, as Mr. Briggs had 
not seen any, and as he has the iilant in cultivation. — C. C. 
Babington. 
Biimex sylvestris, Wallr., var. Kew, Surrey, August, 1877. 
Eacemes much more slender than in type, very few flowers 
fertilized, enlarged petals subentire or faintly toothed. Several 
tufts intermixed with ordinary form. — J. G. Baker. This, with 
the few fertilized flowers, has much the look of a InPrid dock. 
T. E. A. Briggs. 
“ li. maximum, Schreb. ?” Eiver-side, Braxted, Essex; leaves, 
July 12; fruits, August 30, 1877. The specimens were taken 
from plants cut about by the scythe and otherwise damaged by 
cattle, so that suitable portions for drying were not obtainable. 
E. G. Varenne. B. maximus, Schreb. Anglor. Eiver-banks, 
Lewes, E. Sussex, August, 1877. Some of the plants sent are 
from Mr. Warren’s original locality. — J. H. A. Jenner. Marsh, 
St. Mary’s, Scilly, W. Cornwall, June 30, 1877. — T. E. A. Briggs.'
