FUMARIA CAPREOLATA OF BRITAIN. 163 
tibus, fructibus subgloboso-compressis obtusis longioribus quam latis

mis evolutis laxis brevibus paucifloris.

ed. 3. ii. 34. 
F. capreolata, Hamm. Mon. Fum. 24. t. 3 (excl. var. a et B). 
Sepals soon falling, usually entire towards the point, as broad as 
or broader than the cor.-tube. Cor. large, cream-coloured, tipped 
with red or pink; tube thick; lower petal linear, green, boat- 
shaped, gradually dilated towards the end, its sides inflexed ; 
lateral petals linear, truncate-apiculate, with a narrow keel. 
Fruit with a short and rather narrow base which is very nearly as 
broad as the thickened tip of the pedicel; edge not regularly 
rounded, but the whole vertical outline rather quadrangular ; apical 
pits small and deep. Fruit-stalks usually curved back, but some- 
times only patent or divaricate. 
The F. capreolata B. Reichenbachii of Arnott (Rep. Edinb. Bot. 
Soc. iii. 106) includes this plant and F. Borei, as I learn from 
specimens named by Dr. Arnott for Mr. Leighton. 
The fruit of my plant is always longer than broad, and its base 
has little of the stalk-like character of that of its nearest ally, 
F. Borei, from which also its paler flowers and recurved fruit- 
stalks seem to distinguish it. 
As the typical F. capreolata (Linn.) is the F. speciosa (Jord.), 
that name must disappear from our flora. 
I have seen specimens of this plant from Salcombe and Ilfra- 
combe, Devon; Watchet, Somerset (Rev. W. W. Newbould) ; 
Oystermouth near Swansea, Glamorgan ; Caernarvon ; Oswestry, 
Shropshire.
