3o6 the botanical exchange club of the BRITISH ISLES. 
a cornfield, and also in a field of clover between Tackley and 
Steeple Aston. It is in small quantity, Sept. 1907. — G. Claridge 
Druce. 
M. pratense, L. Clogher Valley, Co. Tyrone, June 1907. — 
C. L. Peck. Why sent to the Club ? — Ed. 
M. pratense, var. hians, Druce, Midlaw Burn, Moffat, N.B., 
23rd July 1907, and Raehills, Dumfries, 24th July 1907. — W. R. 
Linton. 
Mentha alopecuroid.es ^ Hull. Bossington, S. Som., native, 
N.C.R., 14th and 23rd Sept. 1907. — E. S. M. This belongs, 
I suppose, to M, alopecuroides, Hull, but the spikes are very un- 
usually and remarkably short. — D. Fry. 
M. alopecnroides X rotundifolia ? Ref. No. 3,202. Near 
Bossington, v.-c. 5, S. Somerset, with the supposed parents, 
23rd Sept. 1907. Though perhaps nearer, upon the whole, to 
M. rotundifolia, I think that there is good evidence of AI. 
alopecnroides both in the foliage and the inflorescence. No such 
hybrid appears to be known. I am growing this, to test it by 
cultivation. — Edward S. Marshall. The leaves of this plant 
approach those of alopecnroides in being rounder and more deeply 
incised than in typical rotundifolia, and Mr. Marshall’s suggestion 
of a hybrid origin may very likely be correct. — D. Fry. 
M. longifolia, Huds., var. Nicholsoniana (Strail). Stream side 
at Three Cocks Inn, Breconshire, 30th September 1907. New 
County record, it is believed, for tlie variety. — Augustin Ley. 
M. Pulegium, L., var. giganieum, Lej. and Court, (var. erecta, 
Syme). On the margin of a pond at Salford, Beds., Sept. 1904. 
The plant was uniformly erect. It is a new county record for 
the species. — G. Claridge Druce. Var. erecta, Syme. I do not 
know the var. giganteum, which may be an earlier synonym ; but 
it is quite unsuitable to the small specimens now before me. — 
E. S. M. 
Thymus Serpyllum, L., fl. albo. Sea Cliffs, Hordley, Hants, 
near Mead End, July 1906. — J. Cosmo Melvill. 
Salvia pratensis, L. In some quantity in the well-known 
native locality round Cornbury and f'instock, Oxon, June 1907. — 
H. J. R. Right, no doubt, but very luxuriant. — J. W. W. Hardly 
A. pratensis, L., with these floral bracts, which rather recall S. 
Sclarca, L. In a more advanced condition the difference is more 
obvious between these two ; I have no young N. Sclarea to com- 
pare. — E. F. L.
