330 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
Hee species Fumariwe Vaillant? cujus formam umbrosam sæpe refert 
simillima est, sed per foliorum lacinias longiores, per racemos breviores 
sæpe subsessiles, per corollas lilacinas petali superioris calcare parum curvato, 
per fruetüs minores persistenter apiculatos minus rugosos specifice differre 
videtur. : 
F. parviflora, Lamk. habitu robustiore, foliorum segmentis angustioribus 
plus minusve canaliculatis, bracteis sepalisque latioribus, corollis albidis 
petalo superiore haud emarginato calcare adscendente, fructibusque valde 
carinatis rugosis seepius mucronulatis plane differt.

A compact and densely branched Spanish plant in Herb. Zurich, labelled 
without date * F, cæspitosa Loscos Exsicc. Fl. Arag. n. Castelseras. Leg. 
Loscos " differs from the original plant sent out by Loscos as F. cwspitosa 
and is a form of F. Schrammit var. orientalis. The specimen of F. cwspitosa 
in Herb. Boissier also belongs to this form. 
It is only after some hesitation that F. Sehrammii has been described as a 
species distinct from F. Vaillanti, to which it is evidently very closely 
alied and of which it will be seen to possess almost the same general 
geographical distribution. While resembling its ally, however, it seems to 
keep constantly distinct in several partieulars, and no intermediate material 
has come under observation concerning the identity of which any reasonable 
doubt can be entertained. 
Haussknecht, in describing F. Schrammii as a variety of F. Vaillantii, 
mentions it as a remarkable plant that may prove to be a separate species, 
and it seems probable from the notations on Bornmiiller’s labels that at a later 
date both he and Ascherson were confirmed in this view. 
The variety orientalis has been placed under F. Schrammii owing to its 
similarly coloured flowers and persistently apiculate fruit, but the latter 
organ differs considerably in form from that of the type, and it may prove, 
when better material of the variety is available, that the two plants are not 
conspecific.
