Druce. Mr. Druce’s specimens seem to be receding from the type 
towards var. pumila, Rostr., or exactly opposite to var. latifolia , Bab . 
Mimulus luteus , L. I have sent this plant to put on record the 
fact that whilst now it covers the whole course of a small stream, 
running past Glen Turrit Lodge to the Loch itself, Perthshire. I 
have never till August, 1891, noticed it, and, as I have nearly every 
year of late visited this spot, it is curious so conspicuous a plant 
escaped my notice, so much so, that I should consider it of very 
recent growth here. — J. C. Melvill. 
Vero?iica scutellata, L., var. pubescens , S. F. Gray. Near Sandhurst, 
Berkshire, August, 1891. The above name is, I presume, identical 
with V. parmularia , Turp. et Poit. V. scutellata , L., of Oxford and 
North Berkshire, is glabrous, but in the south of Berks the pubescent 
form occurs in several localities. I have seen no intermediate forms. 
The specimens sent were gathered in a boggy place between Welling- 
ton College and Blackwater, not far from Sandhurst College. It was 
also noticed on Bramshill Common, Hants, August, 1891. — G. 
Claridge Druce. Probably, as Mr. Druce suggests, Gray’s plant 
is the same as* parmularia, Poit. et Turp. = a. villosa , Schum. 
£ En. pi. Saell.,’ 1801, p. 7 = pubescens , Meyer, “Ch. Hann.,’ p. 331, 
1836 ; but Gray’s name cannot be admitted as he called V. scutellata , 
V. angustifolia. 
Mentha piperita , Huds. Cors Ddygai, Anglesey. Undoubtedly 
wild. New record for Anglesey.— J. E. Griffith. 
M. affinis , Boreau, see ‘ Flore du Centre de la France,’ Vol. 2, 
p. 509. Didcot, Berkshire, August, 1889, and October, 1891. 
Named for me by the Abbe' Strail. — G. Claridge Druce. 
M. arvetisis , L., var. Cult, from near Shirley, Derbyshire, 21st 
July, 1891. In the 1887 ‘Report’ the Abbe Strail considered this to be 
a good variety (“ species.”) — W. R. Linton. This seems to agree 
with one of the arvensis forms named by Opiz, and of which M. 
Deseglise has given notices and extracts from the ‘ Lotus Naturalien- 
tausch,’ 1823-1828; ‘ Nomenclator botanicus,’ 1831 ; and ‘ Beleh- 
rende Herbarsbeilage,’ 1844. It does not seem to agree with any of 
those defined by the Abbe Strail ‘ Classification et descrip, des 
Menthes en Belgique.’ But without specimens to judge by it is 
impossible to name these forms. Most of the types of Opiz are in the 
possession of M. Tempstry of Prague, or in the Bohemian Museum 
there. 
Salvia sylvestris, L. On old colliery waste, Kingswood, West 
Gloucestershire. Established many years. 7th July, 1891 . — James W. 
White. 
Ajuga pyramidalis , L. Near Thurso, Caithness, 29th May, 1890. 
— W. Irvine Fortescue. In a letter, Mr. Fortescue suggests that this 
may have been sown by Robert Dick, but I see no reason to think so; 
it is an old locality, “plentiful on the Thurso river,” and I possess 
specimens thence, gathered by Mr. Iieddle, who certainly found them 
at or before the time Dick went to Thurso. 
Beta trigyna , Waldst. et Kit. Clover field, and also on rail banks 
near Hermitage, Berkshire, June, 1891. Noticed also on rail banks
