REPORT FOR 1885. 
133 
Mimulus lutens , L. Growing in great profusion and luxuriance 
in running water of no depth near the little inn, whence the ascent of 
the pass of Glen Coe is made from Balachulish, Argyle, 22 nd 
July, 1885. This is a well established alien which it would be 
difficult, from its surroundings, to consider other than aboriginal. 
There were several interesting plants growing with it, viz. : Montia 
fontana (new record for County 98) ; an Epilobium which I think is 
E. rivulare, Wahl. ; Myosotis repens, &c. — C harles Bailey. 
Euphrasia officinalis , L. Pasture, Skaill, Sandwick, Orkney, 
August, 1881. — H. H. Johnston. Linksness, Hoy, Orkney, August, 
1885. — W. I. FoRtesgue. “Robust coast form of E. nemorosa , 
H. Mart. ; flowers unusually large.” — F. Townsend. Moul Head, 
Deerness, Orkney, 1884. — W. I. Fortescue. “ Stunted form of 
E . nemorosa ,” — F. Townsend. Smoo Cave and Hunda Island, W. 
Sutherland, and Braemar, Aberdeen, July, 1885. — H. E. Fox. 
“ E. gracilis , Fr.” — F. Townsend. Reay, Caithness, July, 1885. — 
H. E. Fox. “ E. officinalis , ptatensis, Fr.” — F. Townsend. Ross 
Links and Bamburgh Links, Northumberland, July, 1885. — H. E. 
Fox. “ E. nemorosa .” — F. Townsend. 
E. officinalis L. var, mariti?na. Downreay, Caithness, July, 
1885. — H. E. Fox. “An unusual form of E. nemorosa , H. Mart. ; 
teeth of leaves remarkably blunt.” — F. Townsend. 
E. officinalis , L. var. gracilis. Balsall Common, Warwickshire, 
Sept., 1884 — H. Bromwich. “Yes.” — F. Townsend. 
Rhinanthus Crista-galli. L., var. major. Chalky field, Harlington, 
Beds., July, 1885. Coll. J. Saunders. Comm. E. A. Lomax. “It 
perhaps may be so ; and, if so, stenopterus, Fr.” — C. C. Babington. 
Mentha rotundifolia , L. Portbury, N. Somerset, October, 1885. 
Very rare in N. Somerset; Topographical Botany depends on a record 
in the Bath Flora. — J. W. White. 
Mentha hircina , Hull. Holmwood, Surrey, 20th Aug., 1885, and 
Chiddingfold, Surrey, 21st Aug., 1885. Mr. Baker considers the 
Holmwood plant exactly M. hircina, Hull, and I think the Chidding- 
fold plant the same, but I have not submitted it to him. It also 
occurs near Reigate, and is a doubtful native. Apparently, to me, 
more closely allied to M. piperita than to M. pubescens. — W. H. 
Beeby. “ This appears to me to be M. piperita, officinalis. Sole.” — J. G. 
M. arvensis, L., var. prcecox. Sligo, Aug., 1885. — E. F. Linton. 
“ M. sativa.” — J. G. Baker. 
M. arvensis, L. var. Allioniil Aberedw, Radnorshire, August, 1885. 
Augustin Ley. “Won’t do for Allionii, too hairy.” — J. G. Baker. 
Myosotis collina, Reich., var. Mittenii. Dry bank, Thorpe, Norfolk, 
E., May 2nd, 1885. I send a quantity of this scarce variety, if, as I 
believe, the plant is rightly named. I am more doubtful about a few 
plants which were gathered near Thetford, Norfolk, W. ; but if these 
too are right, the variety is not so uncommon on sandy warrens on 
the borders of Norfolk, W., and Suffolk, W. — E. F. Linton. Near 
Sprowston, E. Norfolk, May, 1885. — W. R. Linton. “They seem 
to be the true plant. I had not seen it before.” — C. C. Babington. 
Symphytum orientate , L. Railway bank, Warwick, May, 1885 — 
H. Bromwich. “ Psi 7 ostemon orientate.” • — G. Nicholson.
