mutantur.” From which it is evident that he changed the names 
not because they represented different species, but because they 
were not descriptive of their place of growth. 
It may well be urged that there are two distinct races or 
species, one northern, the true M. pratense, and a second which 
has been called M. viilgatum ; but to connect the species with 
Persoon’s name, appears to be, if not invalid, at least undesir¬ 
able. . . . Hians is a very unvarying plant so far as the deep 
golden colour of the corolla goes, but it has a small range of leaf- 
variation, and, therefore, if Persoon’s name is admissible, it should 
be put as M. vulgatum var. (not forma) hid ns. 
1899. Mentha rubra Sm. One of the mints collected in Corn¬ 
wall in 1911 has been named by M. Briquet as var. raripila Briq. in 
Bull. Herb. Boiss iv, (1896), 782. The M. rubra from the side of the 
Tay, Perth, p. 318, Mr. C. E. Salmon ( Report Bot. Exchange Club 
(1911, 113) would rather refer to M. gentilis, a not improbable 
suggestion ; but until fresh material is obtained, I propose to leave 
it as it stands. 
2075 Lamium Galeobdolon Crantz var. montannm (Pers.)= 
Galeobdolou luteum Huds. Ostenfeld (p. 23) remarks on this as the 
form found in Britain. I recognized this in the Flora of Berks., 
410,1897 ; the var. vulgare (Pers.). with quite another area of 
of distribution, i.e., Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Austria, etc., 
has long leaf-like bracts, and has not yet been recorded as 
British. 
2159. Salicornia. —The North Bull plant, found by Ostenfeld, 
Lindman and myself in 1911, is still under Dr. Moss’ observa¬ 
tion ; he will probably name it as a distinct species. 
2200. Rumex obtusipolius x nemorosus=R. Dufftii Hausskn. 
Cressbrook Dale, Derby ; Tay side, Perth, Ostenfeld, l.c. 
2210. Rumex Acetosella L. var. acetoselloides (Bah), Foul- 
shavv Moss, N. Lancashire, Ostenfeld, l.c. 
Var. angiocarpus (Murb.) Potter Heigham, Norfolk, and a form 
verging towards acetoselloides, Ostenfeld, l.c., Clifden, Galway. 
2276. Salix aurita x cinerea=S. lutescens A. Kern. Some of 
the members of the Excursion thought one of the forms found near 
Clifden, Galway, was S. livida, but the Rev. E. F. Linton passes 
all my plants as the above, and Dr. B. Floderus has rejected the 
suggestion of S. livida, and believes these gatherings to be an 
aurita form, but is unable to see the presence of cinerea. 
2315. Helleborine palustris (Schrank) (vel. longifolia R. and 
B.) var. ericetorum (A. and G.) Druce, Southport Dunes. Dr. 
Graebner assents to the correctness of my identification. It also 
occurs near Raven Point, Wexford. 
2442 (2) Juncus ranarius Songen and Perrier (see page 321): 
Southport, determined by Dr. Graebner. The claim to specific 
grade for this plant is challenged by Dr. Ostenfeld (p. 124) and he 
quotes Buehenau (Mon. June, in Engler’s Pflanzenreich( 1906) where 
he says “ we do not find J. ranarius given as a species, not even as 
a variety. ... We can no more give specific rank to the saline form 
of J. bufonius than we can make a separate species of a glabrate form 
of an ordinarily hairy species (e.g., Melaudrium album).” I am by no 
means anxious to get into the line of fire between two conflicting
