| notes: | The original plants were found by Mr H. W. Pugsley at Salcombe. But as the site was destroyed by building, at Mr A.L. Still's request a root was set out at Scabbacombe Bay, Brixham, by Mr G. J. Fraser in 1936 as notified in Journal of Botany. This plant is doing well & in 1938 had 30 flowering spikes, & these specimens come from this root. |

- An interesting story of the transplanting of Mentha x muelleriana from Salcombe to Scabbacombe. A search of h@h for this taxon in vc3 reveals the involvement of several other characters.
