incurling at the top. — J. A. Wheldon. “I do not pretend to know 
these plants as represented on the Continent — the examples sent seem 
so far to accord with British Floras.” — Arthur Bennett. Odontites 
verna^ O. serotina and O. divergens are described in Boreau ‘ Flore du 
Centre de la France/ p. 490-1. — G. C. Druce. 
Bartsia alpina, L. Widdy Bank, Durham, S., July, 1885. — G. C. 
Druce. 
Melampyrum pratense, L. var. hians, Druce. Findhorn side, 
to Forres, Elgin, August, 1888. This appears singularly constant in 
character over its areas of distribution. The deep yellow flowered 
Irish plant requires further study, it appears to grade into the variety 
latifolium if indeed there be anything but a state induced by moisture 
and shade. — G. C. Druce. 
Oroba?iche elatior, Sutton. Sheringham, Norfolk, July 9th, 1892. 
— H. D. Geldart. “Yes, the true plant of Sutton.” — Arthur Bennett. 
Beck in the ‘Schedse ad FI. Aust.’ considers that the O. inajor^ L., in 
‘FI. Suec.’ Ed. ii., 219 (1755), alior, is the proper name to use 
for the plant we have been calling O. elatior^ Sutton. The oldest name 
for the “ Broom ” Orobanche appears to be 0 . Rapjim-genistee, Thuill. 
(and of Lobel), which Linnseus in Ed. ii. of the ‘ Sp. PL’ cites as a 
synonym of his O. major ^ which he there states is parasitic on the roots 
of Diadelphia, and for which and other reasons I should advocate the 
retention of O. elatior, Sutton, for the Orobanche parasitic on 
Centaurea, etc. — G. C. Druce. 
Utricidaria neglecia, Lehm. Long Moss, near Faldonside, Selkirk- 
shire, 13th July, 1892. — E. S. Marshall. 
Mentha rotnndifolia, Linn, var. Bauhini, very near M. Bauhini, 
Tenore, = d/. rugosa, Lam. Hindringham, Norfolk, 21st September, 
1892. Variety new to Great Britain, found and communicated by 
F. Long. Mr. Frederick Long, of AVells, has known for some time 
of a patch of this mint growing on the side of a ditch mixed with 
grass, and Agrimo 7 iia Bupatoria, and which he thought differed from 
the type of M. rotundifolia, Linn. When shown to Mr. Arthur 
Bennett, he received it as above, adding “ It has the leaves narrower 
than our usual plant, teeth deeper cut, more undulated, &c.” — H. D. 
Geldart. Fludson in ‘ FI. Anglica ’ first described M. rotundifolia. 
Linnaeus cites Hudson in the 2nd Ed. i. of the ‘ Sp. PL’ — G. C. 
Druce. 
M. piperita, Huds. Belper and Snelston, Derbyshire, Sept.,

Hants, Aug., 1892. In company with Rev. W. Moyle Rogers, who 
considered [it] a form worthy of notice. — W. H. Purchas. “ This is 
typical sativaB — J. Gilbert Baker. 
M. cardiaca. Baker. Shotover, Oxon. See ‘Report’ for 1888,
