492 THE BOTANICAL EXCHANGE CLUB OF THE BRITISH ISLES, 
Mentha piperita^ I .inn. Near Coed Parc, at the base of the debris on 
the north side of the Penrhyn slate quarries, north-east Carnarvonshire ; 
in the company of Mr, John E. Griffith, 27th September, 1895. — 
Charles Bailey. 
M. hirsuta, f. paludosa. AV. side of L. Deraveragh, Co. 'W'est- 
meath, 24th July, 1895. — Einton. 
M. genfilis, L., var. JVirtgeniana (F. Schultz). Root from the 
Avon, above Aveton Gifford, S. Devon, 1894. Garden, Milford, 3rd 
September, 1895. This was the name suggested by Mr. Arthur 
Bennett in 1894. — Edward S. Marshall, 
Galeopsis ochroleuca^ Lam. Near Bangor, September, 1895. — 
J. E. Griffith. 
Ballota nigra, Linn. A white-flowered form with pubescent 
foliage occurred near Compton, Berkshire, in July, 1895. — G. C. Druce. 
Ballota nigra, Linn., var. ruderalis, Koch. On waste ground near 
Southampton Docks, S. Hampshire. Some tall plants of a Ballota 
attracted my attention from their rather larger and brighter coloured 
flowers. On examination they appeared to belong to this variety, 
although in not such an extreme lor n as the plant which I gathered 
in the Prater at Vienna. As to its being a native plant I am unable 
to say, for it was growing near the Docks, where a large quantity of 
casual plants, principally from Eastern Europe, occurred August, 1895. 
— G. C. Druce. “No doubt this is the plant of Koch having 
strongly acuminate calyx teeth, though not so extreme as Reichenbach’s 
figure (Ic. 1218). Babington describes B. ruderalis, Sw., as ‘very 
hairy and soft,’ and B. foetida as ‘ a hard, coarse plant,’ but there 
does not seem to be any correlation between the two characters, as the 
present plant is hard and coarse, while Mr. Ley’s Sellack plant 
(see ‘Report,’ 1887), with short cuspidate calyx teeth, is very soft and 
hairy. Koch gives the character of the calyx teeth only to distinguish 
his two varieties.” — H. & J. Groves.

Leg. P. B. O’Kelly. Com.— H C. Levinge^ 
Flatitago major, Linn., var. microstachya, Wallr., = var. agrestis, 
Wimm., = P. minima, DC. In sandy and cindery ground on the 
sea coast between Hightown and Altcar, on the banks of the river 
Alt, South-west Lancashire, 5th August, 1895. Li other parts of the 
Lancashire coast, as at Southport, this form passes into var. b 
intermedia, Gilib. — Charles Bailey. 
P. i?iajor, var. intermedia, Gilib. Growing in isolated patches of 
a sru .re yard or more in extent, on the banks of the Cropstone 
Reservoir, six miles from Leicester, 26th September, 1895. These 
banks would be covered with water when the reservoir was quite full, 
but had been exposed all the summer, probably for six months. The
