GENERA FUMARIA AND RUPICAPNOS, 259 
With the exception of F. flabellata, the plants of this subsection generally 
show somewhat narrower leaf-sezments than the Capreolatw and the series 
Eu-Murales of the Murales. 
* Series Eu-Agraria. 
Fructis plane carinati (F. Ballii excepta), breviter rostrati, mucronati 
vel mucronulati.

Bracteis pedicellos breves (circa 3 mm. longos) subeequantibus, sepalis 
angustis (5 mm. longis, 1 mm. latis), lanceolatis, integriusculis, longe 
acuminatis a typo differt. 
Wolley-Dod, Fl. Calpensis, No. 240, from Algeciras, seems to approach 
this variety. 
y. chilensis, Parlatore, Mon. Fum. 73 (1844) ; Haussk. l. e. 556. 
This variety, which seems scarcely separable from the specific type 
except for its smaller and more markedly beaked fruits, occurs occa- 
sionally in Spain, as may be expected, as well as in Chili and Peru. 
Judging from herbarium material, it is by no means the prevalent form 
of the species in South America. 
There is a Portuguese example of F. agraria in the Sloane Collection in 
Herb. Mus. Brit. (H.S. 326/1549) labelled “ F. latiore folio spica laxiore e 
Lisbon.” 
Lagasca’s diagnosis of this species is meagre and unsatisfactory, but 
Jordan, in dealing with F. major, Bad. (Pugillus, p. 6), describes an authentic 
specimen in De Candolle's Herbarium which leaves no doubt respecting its 
identity. Itis tobe regretted that this fine fumitory has apparently never 
been adequately figured. 
F. agraria is almost unique among the Grandifloræ in the form of its upper 
petal which, while much dorsally compressed and very broad about the apex 
with erect spreading wings, is remarkably narrowed towards the base and 
terminates in a relatively small and laterally compressed spur. Another 
notable feature, only seen in the fresh state, is the yellow colour which 
pervades the base of the corolla almost till maturity. This peculiarity is
