300 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
In addition to the distinguishing features pointed out in “ Fumaria in 
Britain," this variety is usually somewhat less robust and more freely 
branched than the specifie type. Rouy & Foucaud's description of var. 
Parlatoriana seems to refer to this plant rather than that so named by 
Boissier. 
[y. littoralis, Rouy & Foucaud, Fl. Fr. i. 179 (1893); n. v. F. littoralis, 
Du Mortier, Bull. Soc. Roy. Bot. Belg. vii. 359 (1868). This plant is allied 
to the preceding variety, being much branched and having similar relatively 
narrow sepals; but it appears to be separable owing to its broader leaf- 
segments and short racemes of pale flowers. | 
It is noteworthy that prior to the appearance of Grenier & Godron’s ‘ Flore 
de France’ in 1847, F. densiflora DC. was not associated by botanists with 
this species. This may be seen not only from De Candolle’s works, but in 
Sibthorp & Smith’s ‘Flora Greea,’ vii. p. 63, in Moris's ‘Flora Sardoa,’ i. p. 90, 
and in Arnott’s paper on the genus in Rep. Bot. Soc. Edinburgh, p. 104 
(1840). 
F. micrantha is shown in “ Fumaria in Britain” 
to be eminently a 
Mediterranean species. The varieties dubia and littoralis are at present 
known only from Western Europe.
