Fl. Hisp. Suppl. 311 (1893) ). It is one of the hardiest species of the genus, 
growing at an altitude of nearly 6000 feet in the Pennine Alps; and there 
are specimens in Herb. Kew from Siberia Altaica (Ledebour & Ludwig, as 
F. Vaillantüi !). 
Janka's F. supina has been reduced to a variety of this species as the 
authentic specimen from Janka at Kew appears to show all the essential 
features of F. Schleichert and scarcely to differ except in its broadly winged 
corolla. It is reduced to a synonym of F. Schleichert by Simonkai.

Planta robusta, elongata ; folia laciniis paululum latioribus quam in 
F. Vaillantii var. Chavinii preedita. Racemi 20-30-flori, longi, laxiusculi, 
peduneulos plane superantes. Bracteæ lineari-oblonge, acuminate, pedi-

This plant, diagnosed as a species with some doubt by Haussknecht from 
Huet du Pavillon's specimen in Herb. Boissier, is clearly very closely allied 
to F. Schleicher’, as Haussknecht remarks. The resemblance is seen in the 
foliage, in the dark-tipped flowers with the wings of the upper petal reflexed 
upwards, and in the sub-rotund, apiculate fruits. But F. microcarpa differs 
in its dwarfer and more erect habit, its much shorter pedicels with relatively 
long braets, its smaller and less deeply coloured flowers with more curved 
inner petals, and its smaller fruits (about 1:75 mm. long and broad). 
In some degree F. microcarpa may be regarded as intermediate between 
F. Schleicheri and F. Schrammii, the latter of which it resembles in its 
small, apiculate fruit. Its corolla, however, quite laeks the marked dorsal 
compression, with spreading wings, which characterizes the flowers of 
F. Schrammii and F. Vaillantüi. 
'The more recent material collected by Maunsell and Becker, and now at the 
British Museum, appears to be conspecific with the type of F. microcarpa 
in Herb. Boissier, although these later plants show shorter peduncles and
