REPORT FOR 1 879. I 7 
conclusion that the colour of the style is not to be depended upon 
as a specific character.” 
Pyrola secunda L. Rev. Augustin Ley sends from the Wynd 
Cliff, Monmouthshire, some plants collected at the end of June, 1879, 
by Mr. B. M. Watkins. This is a very southern station for this 
species, as Mr. Watson gives York (County 65) in ‘Topographical 
Botany ’ as its southernmost county. 
Verbascum virgatum With. Mr. Charles Bailey sends a single 
specimen from a plant growing opposite the police barracks, Adrigole 
Harbour, Bantry Bay, Co. Cork, nth September, 1879. Not recorded 
for District 1 in Cybele Hibernica ; but it cannot be considered 
native where seen. 
Verbascum nigro x pulverulentum. Rev. E. F. Linton sends a 
few specimens from a single plant from Sprowston, Norwich, 
8th August and September, 1879, with the note that he trans- 
planted the root “ in April, from a field into the garden, and which 
rose in very graceful proportions to the height of six feet. The only 
likeness to nigrum that I noticed was in the purple hairs of the fila- 
ments, and in the large radical leaves.” 
Linaria Pelisseriana , Mill. Mr. A. Bennett sends a single 
specimen from Mount Fiquet, St. Brelade’s, Jersey, collected by Mr. 
J. Piquet. This appears to be a diflerent station from the one near 
St. Peter’s Barracks. 
Euphrasia officinalis near tetraquetra. Mr. Cunnack sends a 
plant so named from Kynance Cove, Cornwall, June, 1879. Mr. 
Baker considers this a small flowered form of the nemorosa subspecies, 
but too robust for gracilis. Dr. Boswell says : — “ A robust form of 
E. officinalis , genuina. Var. tetraquetra is unknown to me by name, 
and I cannot say whether it belongs to that form or not.” Mr. T. R. 
Archer Briggs says it is “ not marked like I have seen tetraquetra at 
Thurlestone, Devon, but a form coming between the true plant and 
one of the common forms of E. officinalis .” 
Mentha citrata. Ehrh. Mrs. E. A. Lomax sends this from 
Lamorna, near Penzance, collected by Mr. Wm. Curnow, August, 
1879. Prof. Babington writes Hardly glabrous enough to please 
me; I should call it M. aquatica, var.” Dr. Boswell reports:— 
“Calyx-teeth too hairy for normal M. citrata ; still I think it may 
fairly bear that name, but the agreeable scent which distinguishes it 
from hirsuta is lost in the dried plant, so I cannot feel sure about it.” 
Mentha sativa , L., b. paludosa , E. B. Mr. H. Bromwich sends 
this from a ditch at Honiley, Warwickshire, August, 1878. Prof. 
Babington says there is no doubt this is a form of sativa , but he does 
not know what is meant by paludosa given as a form of sativa in Lond. 
Catalogue. Mr. T. R. Archer Briggs thinks it may do for Baker’s 
variety paludosa , but the uppermost whorls are too much separated for 
the plant to agree with M. paludosa , as figured in Sole’s work Dr. 
Boswell names it M. sativa genuina. 
Mentha gracilis , Sm., b. Cardiaca , E. B. Sent by Mr. H. 
Bromwich from a heath at Haseley, Warwickshire, September, 
1877. Thought not to be Cardiaca by Prof. Babington, according 
to Exch. Club Report for 1877-8, page 9 ; and he thinks he should 
refer this plant to gentilis. Dr. Boswell confirms the name Cardiaca ,
