GENERA FUMARIA AND RUPICAPNOS, 263 
F. Ballii in Mauritania habitat, ubi cl. J. Ball in regione inferiore 
Atlantis Majoris in convalle Ait Mesan ad 1400 m. specimen unicum legit. 
This remarkable and very rare Fumitory has been named after its 
discoverer to avoid confusion with F. tenuisecta Syme, Eng. Bot. ed. 3, i. 113 
(1863). 
The accompanying plate has been drawn from the single known specimen 
in Herb. Kew.
