MR, H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
Fumaria annua, habitu semper gracili et sepius exiguo, interdum in arvis. 
nana, suberecta, ramosior, interdum diffusa vel petiolis cirrhosis scandens. 
Folia irregulariter 2-3-pinnatisecta, nonnunquam plus minusve glauca, foliolis 
(sepius parvis) in lobos oblongos mucronatos vel lanceolatos acutos fissis. 
Racemi laviusculi, pauciflori (ssepissime sub-12-flori), pedunculos graciles 
rectos ineurvatosve fere wquantes. Bractew lineari-lanceolate, acuminate, 
pedicellis fructiferis tenuibus qui plerumque recti et erecto-patentes sed varius 
flexuosi et paulo reeurvati sunt tertiá parte breviores. Sepala 3—4 mm. longa, 
1:5-2 mm. lata, ovata, peltata, sepissime acuminata, preesertim basin versus 
et in margine inferiore plus minusve dentata, preter nervum dorsalem 
viridiuseulum albida vel roseo-albida, latitudine corollæ tubum sequantia. 
Corolla 9-10 mm. longa, rosea; petalo superiore dorsum compressiusculo, 
haud lato, alis atropurpureis reflexis carinam superantibus apicemque fere 
attingentibus apiculato et, ut in floribus junioribus saltem videtur, spathulato ; 
"ileare sepala fere æquante ; petalo inferiore marginibus. erectis angustissimis 
acuto vel apiculato ; petalis interioribus sursum curvatis apice atropurpureis, 
Fructis parvi vel etiam minimi, circa 2 mm. longi (apiculo incluso) et 
latitudine paulo minores, subrotundo-ovati vel subrotundi, usque ad maturitatem 
acutiusculi vel obtusi brevissime apiculati, in stipitem prope obsoletum inferne 
angustati, parum compressi et obscure carinati, in sicco apicis foveolis parvis 
sepius paululum obscuris læves. 
! Fructtis subglobosi sine apiculo obtusi. 
B. lata, Lowe, Fl. Mader. i. 15 (1868). 
Herba virescens, foliorum segmentis latiusculis, racemis 8—15-floris, sepalis 
subintegris, corollis usque ad 12 mm. longis, lwte roseis apice atropurpureis, 
Jructibus obtusis subglobosis obsolete rugulosis. 
Lowe's types of this Madeira variety, notable for its large, bright flowers 
with almost entire sepals, are in Herb. Mus. Brit. 
[y. Lebelii, Rouy & Foucaud, Fl. Fr. i. 173 (1893) ; non vidi. 
This plant appears to be chiefly notable for its dense racemes and broad 
bracts and sepals. | 
8. Lower, Pugsley, Fum. in Brit. 17 & 23 (1912). 
In addition to the points of distinetion already assigned to this variety, 
its sepals are commonly broader and less acuminate than in the specitic 
type. 
Lowe's specimens referable to this variety are in Herb, Mus. Brit.
