REPORT FOR 1901.

come down from houses above, but it bears a settled appearance now 
which forVhds a decision without further investigation. The greater 
proportion of it is on the Breconshire side, but a few plants have 
strayed to the Glamorganshire side (v.-c. 41), and indeed in one 
place I found the plant on the top of a high wooded rock some 50 feet 
above river level, and further down stream than any other place where 
I could find it either in v.-c. 41 or v.-c. 42. This makes it look more 
like an indigenous plant. I found precisely the same plant at Burry 
Port, in Caermarthenshire (v.-c. 44), in September 1900 — but on a 
rubbish heap ! — H. J. Riddelsdell. “ I think a small form of rubra, 
rather than sativaJ’—Ax. Bennett. “ Rightly named.” — E. F. Linton. 
Salvia verticillata, L. By the Docks, Garston, S. Lancashire, 
June 1900. — S. Gasking. “Confirmed by Messrs. Bennett and 
Linton ; of course, a casual alien. Very badly prepared.” — Ed. 
S. verticillata , L. ? Aberdare, v.-c. 41, Glamorgan; established in 
some quantity over a piece of waste ground, 1 90 1 . — H. J. Riddelsdell. 
S. clandestina, L.” — E. F. Linton. 
Nepeta Calaria, L. Canal bank, Aintree, v.-c. 59, S. Lancashire, 
8th August 1901. — S. Gasking. “N.C.R.” — Ar. Bennett. “Material 
scrappy.” — Ed. 
Stachys alpina, L. Open woodland near Nibley Knoll, West 
Gloucestershire, July loth, 1899. — J. W. White. “Admirable 
specimens.” — Ed. 
Galeopsis dubia, Leers. Near Vodol, Bangor, v.-c. 45, Carnarvon, 
August 30th, 1901. — J. E. Griffith. “This name, which, according 
to Nyman, dates from 1775, supersedes the G. ochroleiica, Lam. (1786), 
of ‘ Lond. Cat.,’ ed. 9.” — Ed. 
Leonorus Cardiaca, L. Poolvash, Isle of Man, 23rd August 
1890. — S. Gasking. “Shocking specimens.” — Ed. 
Ballota ruderalis, Sw. In two places at Studland Bay, Dorset, 
June 1901. Having gathered B. ruderalis for the first time at 
Studland, I am satisfied as to its specific distinctness from B. alba 
(L.), auct. plur. The soft, velvety appearance of the whole plant, 
and pleasant odour when bruised, contrasts sharply with the common 
black horehound. Nyman, “ Consp. El. Eur.,’ p. 581, admits the two 
species — B. alba (L. ), with synonym/aW^fa, Lam., the common species, 
and B. nigra, L., with synonym ruderalis, Sw., the species with more 
restricted distribution. Babington {‘Man.,’ ed. viii., p. 284) distin- 
guishes the two species, while Hooker (‘ Student’s Flora,’ p. 330) unites 
them. Of course, Bentham does likewise. — J. Cosmo Melvill. 
“ Correct.” — Ed. 
Teticrium Scordium, L. District 6 of Babington’s ‘Flora of 
Cambridgeshire,’ p. 185 (i860), 3rd Augmst 1901 ; coll. J. and A.
