324 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY: A REVISION OF THE 
densi (etiam fructiferi), quam folia opposita multo breviores; bracteæ 
pedicellos brevissimos (circa 1 mm. longos) plane superantes. Corolla 
4:5-5 mm, longa, albida ; petalo superiore anguste alato. Fructús parvi, vix 
2 mm. longi ac lati, subrotundi, obtusi vel subretusi, brevissime apiculati, 
siccitate subleves, Aliter ut in typo. 
This variety, which is well represented at Kew, is notable for its ample 
foliage with broad and nearly flat leaf-segments, for its very short and 
dense racemes, and for its nearly smooth instead of rugose fruits. 
Tommasini's specimen from Trieste, in Herb. Boissier, included in Hauss- 
knecht’s citations for this variety, shows poor flowers and fruits, but has the 
aspect of a form of F. Vaillantii, as labelled. A few other European 
exsiccata, as “ Reverchon, Pl. de Sardaigne, No. 91," approach this variety 
in foliage.

Planta robusta, ramosior, haud scandens; /olia plus minusve glauca, 
ampla, laciniis linearibus vel oblongo-linearibus (raro plus 1 mm. latis), 
confertis, brevibus, crassiusculis, subcanaliculatis, acutis subacutisve prodita. 
Racemi sepissime sessiles, breves, floriferi densi, fructiferi paulo elongati ; 
bracteze pedicellos brevissimos (circa 1 mm. longos) multo superantes. 
Sepala absentia aut minuta (circa *5 mm. longa), triangulari-ovata, acuminata, 
albida. Corolla minima, 4-4°5 mm. longa, alba; petali superioris alis 
angustis vulgo sine maculá purpurea ; petalorum interiorum apice purpureo 
vel viridiusculo, Fructús 2 mm. longi et paululum latiores, subrotundo- 
obovati, obtusissimi vel subtruncati, obscure brevissime apiculati, in sicco rugosi. 
Hoe varietas que per foliorum amplorum lacinias breviores confertas 
et per fructüs obtusissimos a typo longe distat varietati latisect« similis est, 
sed foliorum laciniis brevioribus angustioribus, sepalis absentibus vel minutis, 
corollà minima, fructibusque obtusissimis rugosis potius quam sublevibus 
satis differre videtur. 
! ! Flores tandem roseo-tincti ; sepala rosea ; petali superioris alæ 
sæpius latiores.
