cirvensis of the two species. It was growing in a splash. — W. R. 
Linton. “ Seems an intermediate between the two.” — J. G. Baker. 
Mentha arvensis , Linn., var. Yeldersley, S. Derbyshire, 9th Sept., 
1889. The same as the plant of 3rd September, 1887, commented on 
in the Report of that year. One of the water forms of this species 
which so far appears to have escaped naming. — W m. R. Linton. 
Salvia verticillata , Linn. On waste ground near Kingswood, 
West Gloucestershire, 18th September, 1889. Established many 
years. — J. W. White. 
Stachys amhigua , Sm. = sylvatica x palusiris. Damp, shady, road- 
side bank, near Belfast, Co. Antrim, 25th August. 1889. — S. A. 
Stewart. 
S. annua , Linn. Waste ground near Kingswood, West Gloucester- 
shire, 1 8th September, 1889. Established many years. — J. W. White. 
Plantago arenaria , Linn. Formerly found on coast of N. 
Somerset, and at Kingswood, West Gloucestershire. Now cultivated 
in University College garden, Bristol, 28th September, 1889. — J. W. 
White. 
Chenopodium murale , L. Growing on a heap of rubbish near Port 
Meadow, and also by the canal side at Oxford, September, 1889. 
The record in ‘Top. Bot.,’ i.e., Bees. Cat. was probably an error, as 
Mr. T. Beesley says, “ I doubt this.” It was collected in Oxford in 
1867 on ground near Hythe Bridge street (now built over) by Mr. 
H. Boswell. It certainly has not been noticed about Oxford since 
1879 till this year, when many hundreds of plants occurred in the 
above localities. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Polygonum Per sharia, Linn., var. elatum , Gr. and Godr. River- 
bank, Ross, Herefordshire, 28th September, 1889 . — Augustin Ley. 
“ I think it is, but I have called it biforme .” — C. C. Babington. 
P. arifolium (L) This curious prickly Polygonum, kindly 
named for me by Mr. Arthur Bennett, was growing abundantly 
on the stony bed of a small stream at Castle Cove on the Kenmare 
River or Bay, about six miles east of Darrynane. It grew just above 
tidal influence, and a little below a pool that seemed to be used for 
washing clothes by a few cottagers in the neighbourhood. Mr. 
Bennett tells me that this “halberd leaved Tear-thumb ” is a native of 
low grounds in Canada and United States. I find it hard to account 
for its presence here, more especially as my investigations were cut 
short by a drenching thunder-storm, under which I had to make the 
best of my way to Darrynane, 12th July, 1889. — R. W. Scully. 
Rumex scutatus , Linn. Near Sawley, M. W. Yorks, 23rd July, 
1889. — R* F, & F. P. Thompson. Root from Feizor, Yorks, cult., 
Knypersley, August, 1889. — W. H. Painter. 
R. crispus x viridis. Madresfield, Malvern, Worcestershire, 11th 
July, 1889. — R. F. Towndrow. 
Urtica dioica , L., var. ho loser ice a, Fries. Stoke-by-Nayland, 
Suffolk, 1 2th September, 1889. This was pointed out to me by the 
Rev. J. D. Gray as being probably var. angustifolia , Blytt. Mr. 
Arthur Bennett, on seeing specimens, wrote to me as follows : — “ I 
think this is rather b. holosericea , Fries, Nov. FI. Suec. ed. 2 p. 281.
