| notes: | Typewritten note: M. rubra, Sm Porkellis Moor, Wendron, W. Corn wall, v.c.1, Sept. 9, 1907. Not mentioned in the desiderata list, but sent because formaerly it was reckoned among the rarest of Cornish plants. When I published my Tentative List of the plants of this county (1902) only one locality was known for this mint. On Porkellis Moor it is most abundent, and unquestionably native. Mr. C. E. Salamon thinks the plants very typical.- F.H. Davey. |
