GENERA FUMARÍA AND RUPICAPNOS., 307 
(6-12-flori), primarii pedunculos subequantes, seriores pedunculos brevissimos 
multo superantes. Bractew subulato-lanceolate, breviter acuminate, pedicellos 
fructiferos erecto-patentes brevissimos (2 mm. longos) apice valde incrassatos 
sube quantes vel superantes. Sepala circa 15-2 mm. longa, *15 mm. lata, 
sepius ovata, acuminata, dentata, albida. Corolla 5-7 mm. longa, pallide rosea ; 
petalorum exteriorum carinis abrupte terminatis, alis atropurpureis mar- 
ginibusque roseis in exemplaribus visis haud bene explicatis; petalis 
interioribus apice atropurpureis. —ructüs mawimi, 3 mm. longi et paululum 
latiores, brevissime obcordati, retusi, supra medium latissimi et inferne in 
stipitem obscurum multo angustati, parum compressi sed conspicue carinati, 
in sicco apicis foveolis latis obscuris rugos. 
Hee Fumaria distinetissima propter fruetüs maximos cum F. judaieá vulgo 
confusa est. In exemplaribus visis ores haud satis explicantur, sed corollas 
formam sectionis Parviflorarum exhibere manifestum est. 
F. judaica foliorum laciniis majoribus latioribus, pedunculis pedicellisque 
longioribus, sepalis angustioribus, corollis albidis multo majoribus eum petalo 
inferiore haud spathulato, fructibus paulo minoribus, obscurius carinatis, 
magis tuberculato-rugosis longe distat. 
F. microstachys in /Egypto solo (prope Alexandriam) hactenus inventa est. 
This remarkable fumitory, of whose position in the genus Haussknecht 
expressed some doubt owing to lack of adequate material, and of whieh 
good flowering specimens are still wanting in British herbaria, is unique 
among the Purviflome on account of its very large fruits. In habit it 
evidently approaches F. officinalis and F. Vaillantii, which in some degree 
it probably resembles also in flower, but its fruits recall F. macrocarpa and 
F. judaica of ihe Grandiflore, and it thus seems a somewhat anomalous 
intermediate between these widely different species. As a member of the 
Parviflore it seems best placed in the subsection Officinales on account of 
the moderate size of its sepals and the broad form of its fruits.

Pedunculi plus minusve breves, rarius obsolescentes (F. australi excepta), 
pedicellis incrassatis tenuibusve præditi. Braetez variabiles. Sepala minima 
(nisi in F. Janke et F. australi) vel etiam absentia, sepissime insigniter 
dentata, vulgo corolle quartá parte breviora ejusque tubo sepissime 
multo angustiora. Fructüs parvi vel modici, rarissime conspicue lati, siccitate 
rugosi vel rugulosi. 
The blackish-red wings of the upper petal so generally characteristic of the 
genus are well marked in the deep rose corollas of F. Schleicheri and F. Janke, 
and in the lighter flowers of F. microcarpa. They become less marked in
