Mentha gracilis, Sm., b. cardiaca. Haseley, Warwickshire. — 
R. L. Baker and H. Bromwich. M. cardiaca, Gerarde. — A. 
Deseglise. 
Mentha gentilis, L. Haseley, Warwickshire. — R. L. Baker and 
H. Bromwich. M. Crepiniana, Durand. — A. Deseglise. M. sativa, 
var. sub glabra. — J. G. Baker. 
Calamintha menthifolia , var. Briggsii. Barningham, West Suffolk, 
August, 1880. These specimens are rather slender compared with 
what I have found in Devon ; but they seem to have the elongated 
peduncle, “ equalling or exceeding the pedicel of the central flower.” 
— E. F. Linton. Mr. Briggs writes me respecting this : “ I quite 
agree with you as to the Calamint not being good Briggsii. I 
look on Briggsii as only a slight variety, and often meet with 
plants just between it and the type. This specimen of Mr. Linton’s 
I would not myself label Briggsii, notwithstanding the length of some 
of the peduncles of the lower verticillasters ; the flowers and leaves 
should be larger, and the plant more bristly hairy.” — J. G. 
Myosotis palustris. With. Bank of Bovey stream, by Jew’s Bridge, 
Knighton Heath, S. Devon. Collected by Mr. T. R. Archer 
Briggs and me on August 28th, 1880, in this the first Devon station, 1 
where it has certainly been observed by either of us. It seems 
as completely absent from the Teign Valley proper as from the whole 
Plymouth neighbourhood. Perhaps it may prove quite a local plant 
in the extreme South-west of England. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
Primula scotica, Hook. Common in sandy pasture on the Links 
of Dunnet, Caithness. I send specimens collected by me on 1st 
May, 1880, which have each one flower-scape, and have flowered 
once this year. I also send specimens collected by Miss M. M. 
Brock on 12th, 13th, and 14th July, 1880, which have each two 
scapes — one in fruit, the other in flower. In May, 1880, in company 
with Miss Brock, I visited the locality ; we marked twelve plants, 
each of which had one scape in flower. During the year my friend 
observed and recorded the progress made by these, plants ; on the 
5th July the flower-scapes of May were in fruit, and seven of the 
plants in flower for the second time; by 16th August the flower-scapes 
of July were in fruit, and two of the plants had flowered a third time. 
Thus, of the twelve plants observed, five flowered once, five twice, 
and two thrice. — H. Halcro Johnson. 
Salicornia radicans, Sm., and S. herbacea, L., b. procumbens. 
Dawlish Warren, South Devon, August, 1877. — W. Moyle Rogers. 
Rumex, hybrid between pulcher and conglomeratus , second 
generation. Cultivated at Balmuto, from seed of plant raised from 
seed of specimen from Plymouth. — J. T. Boswell. 
Rumex crispus, L., b. elongatus. Tidal mud of the Wye, Tintern, 
Monmouthshire, 26th July, 1880. Very abundant, and the earliest 
flowering dock ; nuts well formed on July 26th, when R. conglomeratus 
was in flower, earlier than ordinary crispus, trigra 7 iulatus growing with 
it. Stature of this dock enormous, height often 6 ft. The root-leaves 
vary very much in breadth and crisping, and seem to be narrower 
and flatter the lower the plant grows on the level of the tide-way. — 
Augustin Ley. This is less perfectly trigranulate than the var. 
trigranulatus , and the granules are smaller in proportion to the size
