GENERA FUMARIA AND RUPICAPNOS. EL 
This rare plant, remarkable for its relatively small, toothed sepals, bears a 
general resemblance in other respects to var. speciosa, and in comparison may 
be regarded as somewhat analogous with the var. brevisepala of F. purpurea. 
It agrees in floral characters with Haussknecht's description of his var. 
intermedia, but the plant in the Boissier Herbarium on which this name 
was founded cannot be retained as a variety of F. capreolata, which 
Dr. Hochreutiner’s plant evidently is, and a fresh name for the latter has 
therefore been substituted. 
F. platycalyx, Pomel, Nouv. Mat. Fl. Atlant. 239 (1874), is a plant of 
which no material has been seen, but it is apparently a shade-form of 
F. capreolata, as treated by Battandier & Trabut (Fl. de l'Algérie, i. 26 
(1888)). 
Of F. nemorosa, Lojacono Pojero in Fl. Sicula, 61 (1888), which is reduced 
by Nicotra to a synonym of F. capreolata var. albiflora, several authentic 
specimens have been seen which either belong to this variety or are shade- 
forms of the specific type. The diagnosis of F. nemorosa, however, states 
that the fruits are “ grosse rugulosis, —a feature recalling F. flabellata rather 
than any form of F. capreolata—and so the name may be held doubtful. 
The var. atrosanguinea, Brochon & Neyraut, adopted by Rouy & Foucaud 
(Fl. Fr. i. 171), seems to be a form only of var. speciosa, Hammar, in which 
the sepals as well as the corolla become red. It was originally issued as 
F. speciosa, Jord., forma atrosanguinea, in the exsiceata “C. Magnier, Fl. Sel. 
Exsice. No. 2388. Pyrénées-Orientales, 1890." 
Tt may be observed that while this variety atrosanguinea seems almost 
inseparable from var. speciosa, Hamm., the variety described by Rouy & 
Foucaud under this latter name appears to be Hammar's type, which is not 
otherwise accounted for by the collaborateurs. 
The variety provincialis, Rouy & Foucaud (l. c.), seems from the description 
to be a luxuriant state of F. capreolata rather than a true variety—a view 
borne out by the example in Herb. C. Bailey of ** Magnier, Fl. Sel. Exsiec. 
No. 456,” which is cited by the authors in illustration. 
Another specimen in the same collection under this name, gathered 
by Albert in 1893, at Sollies-Toucas, Var, whence Rouy & Foucaud record 
var. provincialis, is, however, much more distinct and perhaps a good variety. 
This has bracts barely exceeding half the length of the pedicels, and 
relatively lax and slender racemes of large, pale flowers attaining 14 mm. in 
length, with the upper petal very narrow and comparatively but very little 
laterally compressed, much as in var. speciosa. 
A further conspieuously fine plant allied to this form, but with large fruit, 
is one from Corfu (Baenitz, Fl. Corcyrensis ; Kastrades, 1896, as 
F. capreolata Y), which may likewise be varietally separable.
