266 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES. 
Gentiana Amarella , Linn., var. prcecox , Raf. Near Durlstone 
Head, Dorset, 25th May, 1889. — E. F. Linton. Ventnor, and 
Bembridge Downs, Isle of Wight, June, 1889. — J. H. A. Steuart. 
Symphytum tuberosum , Linn. Established in abundance on a 
railway embankment; near Montpellier Station, West Gloucestershire, 
6th June, 1889. — J. W. White. 
Anchusa sempervirens , Linn. Base of wall, in the neighbourhood 
of Borgue, Kirkcudbright, 18th September, 1889 . — Charles Bailey. 
Myosotis collina , Hoft'm., var. Mittenii , L. C. ? Braemar, S. 
Aberdeen, 27th July, 1889. Growing as a weed by a cottage. W. R. 
Linton. “ I have no description of v. Mittenii , only the note in 
£ Student’s Flora,’ p. 282. I presume that this is it.” — C. C. Babington. 
Euphrasia officinalis, Linn., form tending towards E. Salisburgensis , 
Funk? Ape’s Tor, near Alstonfield, Staffs., September, 1889. — 
W. H. Purchas. Mr. Townsend writes : — “ As regards this I would 
say ‘confer Euphrasia nemorosa , H. Mart.’ It does not really 
approach E. Salisburgensis except, at a superficial glance, by its bracts 
which are somewhat contracted or narrowed above, and by the 
setaceous teeth of the same. The bracts, however, have the prominent 
nerves on the lower surface which is characteristic of E. nemorosa 
and its allies, and they have the broad base of the same and the 
numerous teeth. The nerves of the bracts (and leaves) of E. Salis- 
burgensis are not raised, the teeth are few and the base of the bracts 
is cuneate.” 
E. officinalis , Linn., var. Old Storridge, near Malvern, Worcester- 
shire, 23rd September, 1889. A very slender and flexuous variety, 
with unusually drawn-out stem and branches, occurring in consider- 
able quantity at this station, and not appearing to pass into the 
more frequent rigid form of the plant. — R. F. Towndrow. “ Not an 
uncommon form of Euphrasia nemorosa, H. Mart.” — F. Townsend. 
Rhinanthus Crista-galli, Linn., var., Drummond-Hayi, White. 
Clova, Forfar, 15th July, 1889. — E. F. and W. R. Linton. “ Right; 
the variety is easily recognised by the calyx being minutely pubescent 
all over and not merely on the edges. It seems to be essentially a 
mountain form and there is often (if not always) a gap between the 
altitudinal distribution of the type and of the variety. The latter — 
first found on Ben Lawyers — has now been seen on many hills.” — 
F. Buchanan White. 
Mentha Nicholsoniana , Str. River bank, Whitney, Herefordshire, 
13th Sept., 1889 . — Augustin Ley. “ M. sylvestris, var.”— J. G. 
Baker. 
M. viridis, Linn., Shirley, S. Derbyshire, 30th Aug., 1887. Sent 
to confirm record as a casual. — W. R. Linton. 
M. Piperita, Huds. var. officinalis , Hull. Shallow burn in the 
neighbourhood of Borgue, S. Kirkcudbrightshire, 18th Sept. 1889. — 
Charles Bailey. I took this for a form of M. hirsuta , but Mr. 
Baker confirms Mr. Bailey’s naming. — J. G. 
M. arvensis x satira ? Shirley, S. Derbyshire, 9th Sept., 1887. 
This plant has the leaf serrations of arvensis, but the calyx-segments 
of saliva , and seems to be an intermediate form, though nearer to
