was reported also by the late Mr. Williamson, from Scarbro’.” 
As many botanists may wish to have Yorkshire specimens of this 
plant, I send fifty for distribution. — Thomas J. Foggitt. 
Orobanche minor, b. amethystea, Tliuilh- Coast-cliff between 
Downderry and Seaton, E. Cornwall. One specimen attached to a 
rootlet of Plantago Coronopus. Mr. W. B. Waterfall, of Plymouth, 
has also found this plant on the Plantago. June 12, 1876. — 
T. E. A. B. 
Mentha citrita, Ehrh. Wet ditch in Derbyshire, where it does 
not flower. Collected by Miss Stubbs for Mrs. Lomax. August, 
1876. I think this is rightly named. — J. T. Boswell. 
‘^Mentha citrata, Ehrh. Garden, September 11, 1876. Root 
from Howl Hill, Herefordshne. — Augustin Ley. After I received 
Dr. Boswell’s verdict on this mint, given below, I wrote the Rev. 
A. Ley for further particulars concerning it, and he replied : “I 
sent it up to Mr. Baker in 1874, and his note upon it was, ‘ Sub- 
stantially the Bergamot mint of gardens, M. citrata, Ehrh.’ You 
will observe, from the first word of this note, that Baker does not 
think it typical citrata. I acknowledge its great general similarity 
to rubra, but its smell when fresh was markedly different from the 
coarse smell of rubra ; both the taste and smell bearing a strong 
resemblance to those of M. piperita, though not identical with them. 
I have no specimens of M. citrata (true), with which to compare 
it.”— T. R. A. B. Certainly not M. citrata. I believe it to be 
M. rubra. — J. T. Boswell. 
M. sativa, Linn., var. subglabra . Sellack, Herefordshne. 
August 14, 1876. — Augustin Ley. Differing from the ordinary 
subglabra of the neighbourhood of Plymouth in having more 
glabrous leaves, considerably more rounded below ; the serratures 
not nearly so deep as in Plymouth examples, nor with such acute 
points ; the flowers reddish, not lilac-purple, in colour. The 
Plymouth subglabra is, I consider, M. rivalis. Sole, agreeing well 
with his figure. — T. R. A. B. Mr. Ley’s plant is what I consider 
the ordinary form of M. subglabra. — J. T. Boswell. 
M. cardiaca. Hasley Common, Warwickshire. October, 1876. 
— H. Bromwich. This is the first specimen of 21. cardiaca which 
has come into my hands, excejit from a garden.— J. T. Boswell. 
Lamium intermedium. Fries. Kelso, Roxburgh, June and 
November, 1876. A rare weed of cultivated ground in this 
district. — Andrew Brotherston. 
Ajuga reptans, L., var. pseudo-alpina. Balmuto, Fife. June, 
1876. This form is a state dependent on the locality rather than 
a variety. The plants were gathered on a dry bank, fully exposed 
to the sun; in the same field, where the ground was damp, or 
sheltered from the sun by bushes, the ordinary stoloniferous state 
of the plant occurred. — J. T. Boswell. 
SymjAiitum asperrimum, Bieb., and S. uplandicum ! Cultivated 
in Balmuto garden, 1876. I have been induced to send a few 
specimens of two forms of Symphitum , both of which I had under 
the name of asperrimum, but which seemed to me distinct, in con- 
sequence of some remarks on S. asperrimum, pate^is and officinale, in
