302 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
There is also some degree of variation in the fruit, which is sometimes 
plainly longer than broad and occasionally very shortly acute. Its surface, 
when dry, is usually finely rugulose. 
The range of F. rostellata, a plant of Central Europe, extends as far north 
as Lithuania (Grodno, in Hb. Kew !), and in addition to the habitats cited by 
Haussknecht, it occurs in Serbia (Hb. Kew) and in Bulgaria (Hb. Mus. Brit.).

In F. officinalis and F. microstachys the wings of the upper petal are normally 
dark purple like the tip of the inner ones, but this colouring is obscure in 
F. cilicica and F. Boissieri.

As pointed out in the general remarks on the subsection Murales, F. media, 
Loiseleur, ‘Notice’ p. 101 (1810), is closely related to this species. Loiseleur 
separates it from X. officinalis by its more rampant habit, ample foliage, and 
larger, paler flowers ; and it seems best regarded as a large-flowered state of 
the plant figured by Reichenbach, without diagnosis, as F. officinalis var. 
scandens, which was reduced to a forma scandens in ** Fumaria in Britain,” 
p. 51. It is perhaps also the a. vulgaris of Koch, Syn. Fl. Germ. ed. 2, App. 
p. 1017 (1845), and of Hammar (Mon. p. 10), but it is not clear whether 
these authors intend to distinguish under this name a variety separable from 
the specific type.
