| notes: | Mentha alopecuroides, Hull. Harling to Larling, Norfolk, W., 3rd October, 1888. In a situation which cannot be said to be quite free from suspicion, as the mint grew in a damp corner of a field, near cottages. But, I think, in Norfolk this mint is taken from the marsh into the cottage garden (and there known as "Lamb's mint"), and then may become an outcast before losing any of its wildness. My locality was on the border of a very marshy district. - E.F.Linton. It is not included in 'Kirby Trimmers' Flora,' although given in 'Student's Flora' for Norfolk.- Ed. "In his very full account of the Norfolk mints in the supplement to his Norfolk Flora (1884), Mr.Trimmer gives nine stations for this mint. I myself have no doubt it is really a native of Norfolk in some stations."- Arthur Bennett |
