276 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY: A REVISION OF THE 
sequantes. Flores racemorum recentiorum quam in prioribus sæpe pauciores 
minusque explicati. Sepala dentata, serrata vel integriuseula, raro corollie 
tertià parte longiora vel ejus tubo plane latiora. Petala exteriora obtusa vel 
acuta, inferius marginibus angustis qui apicem vix attingentes plerumque 
erecti rarius patentes sunt. Fructis parvi aut modici, forme diversissime, 
siccitate tuberculato-rugosi, rugulosi vel etiam læves. 
In this subsection the wings of the upper petal, as well as the tip of the 
inner ones, are dark purple except in F. bicolor and some forms of F. Bastardi. 
The term Medic, which was applied to this difficult group in “ Fumaria in 
Britain," has been abandoned in favour of Murales, Haussk. as further 
investigation sufficiently shows that F. media, Loiseleur,* Notice,’ p. 101 (1810), 
a plant whose identity has given rise to much discussion, represents only a 
rampant form of F. officinalis, Linn. and has no connection with the species 
of this subsection. — Loiseleur refers to its retuse fruits in his diagnosis and 
again in his subsequent remarks, and the figure which he quotes (Vaillant, 
Bot. Par. tab. x. fig. 4)—an exceptionally good drawing but without fruits— 
bears a raceme of dorsally compressed flowers, with small sepals, which, if 
not a form of F. officinalis, can only be referred to F. major, Bad. 
De Candolle, Reichenbach, and Boreau clearly regard F. media, Lois. as 
closely allied to X. oficinalis, and Parlatore (Mon. Fum. p. 59) shows at 
some length that they are not separable as species, a view more recently 
maintained in Rouy & Foucaud’s ‘Flore de France’ and Nicotra's * Le 
Fumariacee Italiane, The confusion that has arisen through the connection 
of this name with F. muralis and its allies seems largely due to Hammar’s 
interpretation of F. media (Mon. Fum. p. 28), which, combined with his 
association of F. Bastardii with F. muralis, forms the most serious error in 
his generally excellent work, and is carefully corrected by Haussknecht. 
The further extension of Loiseleur’s name by Willkomm & Lange 
(Fl. Hisp. iii. p. 882) to cover the majority of the varied Spanish forms of 
this group argues a treatment of this subsection quite unequal to that of the 
remainder of the genus.
