GENERA FUMARIA AND RUPICAPNOS. 305 
The varying states of this fumitory, as it is seen in cornfields in spring, 
in gardens in summer, and when shade-grown, are carefully distinguished by 
Haussknecht under the three form-names, floribunda, Peterman, agrestis, and 
umbrosa ; and the parallel variations of the variety Würtgeni? are similarly 
dealt with, as also those of the species F. Schleicheri, Soy-Will., F. Vaillantü, 
Lois., and F. parviflora, Lam. These variations, which Haussknecht remarked 
in the species familiar to him, probably occur generally throughout the genus 
where the climatic conditions are favourable for the continued propagation 
and growth of the plants throughout the summer. 
The distribution of F. officinalis, as given by Hammar, is amended by 
Haussknecht and in * Fumaria in Britain.” It is pre-eminently the common 
European Fumitory, but both in Asia and North Africa it is scarcer and less 
widely spread than F. parviflora. 
Haussknecht further enumerates a number of widely scattered localities 
for the varieties minor, Wirtgenii, and densiflora ; and it may be added that 
var. elegans occurs not only in Britain, France, and Germany, but also in 
Italy and Spain. 
A hybrid of the variety Wirtgenii with F. Vaillantii var. Chavinit has 
been described from the Var in Southern France as x F. Albertii in Rouy & 
Foucaud's Fl. de France, i. p. 178 (1893) ; and in the same year another 
description of F. oficinalis x Vaillantii (F. abortiva) from Thessaly was pub- 
lished by Haussknecht in Mittheil Thür. Bot. Ver. N. Folge, iii. & iv. 
p. 102 (Symbolæ ad floram græcam). There is an authentic example of this 
latter plant in Herb. Kew. F. officinalis x parviflora and F. officinalis x 
micrantha are veferred to at page 50 of * Fumaria in Britain.”

In addition to authentic material of Kotschy’s plant on which this species 
was founded, the herbaria at Kew and the British Museum contain excellent 
Armenian examples collected by Sintenis, which are labelled as referred by 
Haussknecht to F. cilicica. 
In these examples the characters of this remarkably floriferous and 
somewhat showy fumitory are well seen, and they generally confirm the 
accuracy of Hausskneckt’s unusually full diagnosis.
