Mentha alopecuroides, Hull. A large patch 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.- — ^A^^drew Brotherston. 
M. pubescens, Willd. Brookside, near Mitcheldean, West 
Gloucester, September 13, 1877. — Augustin Ley. Mentha jnihescens 
I call M. hirsuta, L., and do not separate the forms given in the 
‘ Students’ Flora,’ even if they are distinguishable from M. aqmtica. 
Is hirsuta a slip of the pen for aquatica ? Of course if hirsuta and 
pubescens be the same, a plant cannot be nearer one than the other. 
M. gracilis, b. “ Cardiaca.'’ Shrewley Common, Warwickshire, 
September 12, 1877. — K. L. Baker. Haseley Common, Warwick- 
shire, September, 1877. — H. Bromwich. I think not M. Cardiaca. 
— C. C. Babington. 
“ Thymus Serpyllim, approaching Chanucdrys.” — Barnes, Kelso, 
Koxburgh, August, 1876. A very curious intermediate. I called 
it Chamcedrys 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 plant. 
— C. C. Babington. 
Stachys annua, L. Downs near Sevenoaks, 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 parish 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 conglonieratus and pidcher? approach- 
ing pulcher. 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 plant in cultivation. — C. C. 
Babington. 
Bume.v 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 hybrid dock. 
T. E. A. Briggs. 
“ B. maximus, 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. i(. maxiinus, 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.
