7. Fumaria GarrrAnpoTIL, Boissier, Fl. Orient. i, 139 (1867). F. major. 
auct., ex parte, non Badarro ; F. spectabilis, auct., ex parte, non Bischoff ?

No. 222, ut F. major ! 
Fumaria annua, robustissima, internodis longis parce ramosa, diffusa vel 
petiolis cirrhosis scandens. Folia irregulariter 2-3-pinnatisecta, foliolis in 
lobos cuneiformes mucronatos, oblongos obtusos vel rarius lanceolatos acutos 
fissis. Racemi laziuseuli, 10-16- (ssepius 10—12-) flori, pedunculos crassos 
superantes. Bractew oblong, cuspidatie, preter nervum viridiusculum albidz, 
pedicellos fructiferos suberectos apice valde incrassatos subuquantes. Sepala 
3-4 mm. longa, circa 2 mm. lata, ovata, peltata, acuta, plus minusve inciso- 
dentata, preter nervum dorsalem obscurum albida, corolla tubo æquilata. 
Corolla 10-12 (rarius 13) mm. longa, pallide rosea; petalo superiore obtusiusculo, 
calcare adseendente et alis atropurpureis reflexis apicem | attingentibus 
carinamque paulo excedentibus preedito ; petalo inferiore marginibus latiusculis 
patulis roseis apicem vix attingentibus subacuto ; petalis interioribus sursum 
curvatis apice atropurpureis. Fructús magni, 2:5 mm. longi et paululum 
latiores, subrotundo-quadrati vel subrotundi, obtusissimi truncati vel raro 
subemarginati, obsolete mucronulati et carinato-compressi, in vivo, ut videtur, 
in stipitem quam pedicelli apex multo angustiorem abrupte angustati, siccitate 
apicis foveolis mediocribus obscuris dense tuberculato-rugosi. 
He species F. majori, Bad. valde affinis est, sed differt habitu etiam 
robustiore, pedunculis pedicellisque crassioribus, bracteis sepalisque latioribus, 
corollis pallidioribus minoribus petalo superiore angustius alato calcareque 
majore preeditis, et fructibus subrotundis potius quam obovatis magis 
carinato-compressis foveolisque minoribus notatis. 
F. agraria, Lag. preter floris majoris colorem formamque sepalis plus 
minusve lanceolatis apice subintegris diu persistentibus et fructüs valde 
compressi carina in rostrum emarginatum producta facile dignoscitur. 
Floris colore et magnitudine, sepalis majoribus, fructibus retuse rostratis 
F. occidentalis, Pugsley, etiam diversa est. 
F. rupestris, Boiss. floribus angustis, sepalis longissimis et fructibus 
acutiusculis minoribus cum F. Gaillardotii confundi non potest. 
F. Gaillardotii in Syrià, in Egypto, in Cretà (Heldreich, Heracleum, 1846, 
ut F. flabellata!), in Greecid, in Dalmatia, in Istria, in Sicilia et forsan in 
Italià australi invenitur. 
F. Gaillardotii, although obviously near F. major and generally united 
with it by recent authors, seems to be a more Eastern plant which is specifi- 
cally distinct owing to several minor but constant points of divergence, and 
especially by its different sepals and corolla. In spiteof its wide distribution 
it appears to show little variation, except in the breadth of the leaf-segments,
