gonieryshire, August 1910. — J Cosmo Melvill. Described as 
var. pallescens by Martrin-Donos in ‘ FI. Tarn.’ 550, 1864 — Leaves 
yellowish-green, flowers white in compact heads, bracts pale green.” 
' — G. Claridge Druce. 
Clinopodium vulgare, L., fl. albo. Near St. Fagan’s, v.-c. 41, 
August 22, 1910. Flowers of this colour of course often sport to 
white : but I do not remember seeing it in this species before. — 
H. J. Riddelsdell. 
Melissa officinalis^ L. Hedge by high road, Monk’s Ris- 
borough, Bucks, September 1910. — F. L. Foord-Kelcey. Yes. 
1 gathered it there in 1898. — G. Claridge Druce. 
Salvia pratensis, L. Root from the Downs above Reigate, 
v.-c. 17 Surrey, 1908; fl. West Monkton Rectory, May 27, 1910. 
'rhis was shown to me by Mr. C. E. Salmon, who discovered it in 
small quantity ; a tiny piece of root was taken, which has grown 
into a large plant. Rev. E. F. Linton remarks that the flowers are 
much smaller than in his cultivated S. pratensis. — Edward S. 
Marshall. 
Galeopsis Tetrahit., Linn., var. nigricans., Breb. I'regenna, St. 
Columb Minor, West Cornwall, v.-c. i, August 6, 1910. The ability 
to suggest this naming comes from Druce’s valuable edition of 
‘ Hayward’s Botanist’s Pocket Book.’ The almost black calyces of 
these plants was very conspicuous when growing, and distinctly 
differentiated the variety from the type with pale green calyces with 
which they grew. Unfortunately the black coloration has faded 
a good deal. — C. C. Vigurs. Yes, var. nigricans, Breb. — G. 
Claridge Druce. 
Plantago lanceolata, Linn., forma. On ballast at Par, East 
Cornwall, v.-c. 2, July 1909. These plants with very narrow leaves 
and short spikes seemed to me a good way off the type ; I suppose 
they are approaching var. sphecrostachya. — C. C. Vigurs. Leaves 
linear-lanceolate ; this is probably due to the situation. I can see 
no varietal character. — Edward S. Marshall. 
Plantago lanceolata, L., forma. Dry sands, Ainsdale, S. Lancs., 
v.-c. 59, June 1910. Very near to the var. splucrostachya, M. and 
K., sent from limestone hills in Wales last year. But this sandhill 
plant is evidently only a starved condition of the type, as it is very 
often larger, with a less wiry peduncle, and the leaves are frequently 
more than 3-nerved.— J. A. Wiieldon. I'wo plants are round- 
headed ; the third inflorescence is ovate-oblong. This confirms my 
previous opinion that the alleged variety is due to starvation, and
