It grows pretty commonly. My piece was gathered near a well in Wensleydale. The Horse Mint has a shaggy spike and pointed leaves, which are woolly beneath. The Bound-leaved Mint (M. Rotundifolia), has an acrid smell, and its stamens are very prominent. The stem of the Tall Bed Mint is zigzag and smooth ; and that of the Bushy Bed Mint nearly so. We have not found specimens of these plants. But which of us does not " know a bank where the wild Thyme grows ? " I know twenty such.

Sheep that have browsed where it grows yield the best mutton, and it was considered to improve veni- son greatly (Thymus serpyllum). The plant is too familiar to need description. The Basil Thyme (T. Acinos), is a pretty plant ; recumbent like the Wild Thyme, but with stiff stems, and bluish-grey flowers, beautifully spotted with purple.
