Rhinanthus monticola, Druce {A lector olophus monticola, Ster- 
neck). Ref. No. 2947. Grassy ground in Glen Dee, near Allan-a- 
Quoich, Braeniar, v.-c. 92, S. Aberdeen, 30th July 1906. Agrees 
very well with specimens of mine determined by Dr. von Sterneck. — 
Edward S Marshall. 
Mentha longifolia, Huds., var. mollissima (Borkh)? Dunbar- 
ney, near Perth, Sept. 1906. — Albert Wilson. “Yes, mollissimaP 
— A. Ley and W. R. L. This closely resembles Marshall’s 1898 
plant (Ref. No. 2178) from Forres. The leaves are too broad for 
fnollissima^ in which the teeth of the leaves are much more prominent. 
— G. C. Druce. 
M. pnbescens, Willd. Crantock, W. Cornwall, Aug. 1903 and 
1905. — C. C. ViGURS. “A form of M. hirsuta, which approaches 
M. pubescens in the length of the calyx teeth.” — A. Ley and 
W. R. L. 
M. rubra, Lin. This plant appears to harmonize in every way 
with descriptions of typical M. rubra, Linn. It grows, very locally in 
a marshy field very near my house, and in close proximity to the Rea 
or Mede Brook, a tributary of the Severn. Though not a new record 
for Shropshire, it is undoubtedly very rare in the county. — J. Cosmo 
Melvill. “ This plant is, we consider, a form of sativa, var. pabc- 
dosa, which simulates rubra in the dark colouring and the partially 
glabrous leaves, but differs from the usual form of both sativa and 
rubra in the small leaves.” — A. Ley and W. R. L. No. This does 
not belong to the rubra set, i.e., hybrids of viridis, but to the verti- 
cillata {aquatica x arvensis) group. The odour is distinctly that of 
aquatica, the pedicels are not glabrous but covered with hairs, and 
the whole plant is more hairy than true rubra. This is doubtless 
a hybrid of the red-veined form of aquatica with arvensis, and has 
probably been named by Continental botanists. — G. C. Druce. 
M. gracilis, Sm. River bank. Great Doward, Herefordshire, 
7th September 1906. Not quite typical, but best I think under this 
species. Typical M. gracilis, Sm., should have sessile leaves : this 
has them slightly stalked. New County Record as a native plant. — 
Augustin Ley. Origin, Haseley Common, Warwickshire, cult. 6th 
Aug. 1906. — S. H. Bickham. “Specimens collected from this 
locality by Mr. H. Bromwich were named Cardiaca by Mr. J. G. 
Baker. M. Malinvaud says it looks like a form of gentilis consider- 
ably away from the type, and suggesting hybridity as possibly ac- 
counting for it. Mr. Bromwich says that it occurred in small quan- 
tity with typical M. Cardiaca, of which it may be a variety. See 
Report, 1890. — G. C. Druce. *
