326 MR. H. W, PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
Planta internodis longis robusta, suberecta vel diffusa. Folia glauca, 
laciniis linearibus vel oblongo-linearibus, breviusculis, acutiusculis, canalicu- 
latis. Racemi etiam floriferi haud densi ; bracteæ pedicellos crassos breves 
(circa 1:5 mm. longos) plane superantes. Sepala 1-15 mm. longa, subrotundo- 
ovata, acuminata, dentata. Corolla vix 5 mm. longa, dilute rosea; petali 
superioris alis latis omnino roseis; petalorum interiorum apice viridiusculo 
potius quam purpureo. Fructis 2-2:25 mm. longi et lati, subrotundo-obovati, 
obtusissimi, obscure brevissime apiculati, priesertim apicem versus conspicue 
carinati, in sicco apicis foveolis obscuris rugosi. 
Hee varietas per flores sine apice atropurpureo obscure roseos et per 
fruetüs majores obtusissimos apicem versus conspicue carinatos a F. parvi- 
fore aliis formis separanda est et transitum. ad F. indicam denotare videtur, 
sed foliorum laciniæ breviores, racemi subsessiles et presertim. corolla 
brevior alis patentibus caleareque rotundato adscendente prodita ejus eum 
F. parviford propinquitatem certissime monstrant, 
An example in Herb. Mus. Brit. (Haussknecht, Iter Orient. Schiras, ut 
F. parviflora Y), with small rosy-white flowers and obscure sepals, seems inter- 
mediate between this variety and 8. persica. 
Hammar's variety segetalis (Mon. p. 17), distinguished by sepals one 
fourth as long as the corolla and as broad as its tube, has been shown under 
F. Reuteri to belong to that species and not to F. parviflora, 
Haussknecht, who does not seem to have seen Lange’s specimen on which 
this variety was founded, regards it as a form of true F, parviflora, and 
cites for it several fresh exsiccata, of which those from Segura de la Sierra, 
Murcia, and from Aintab have been examined, and are found to resemble 
closely Clavaud’s variety glauca. 
The original specimens of F. cvspitosa, Loscos (Loscos, Series Exsicc. 
Fl. Aragon, Centuria prima, No. 2) are referred by Haussknecht in Oesterr. 
Bot. Zeit. xxvii. p. 50 (1877), to F. parviflora f. erecta, Haussk. This plant 
is admitted as a distinet species in Willkomm & Lange's FI. Hispaniea, iii. 
p. 884, but in their Supplement (p. 311) it is reduced to a variety of F. 
Vaillantii with the remark * vix varietas dicenda." The example in Herb. 
C. Bailey is an early-flowering form of /. parviflora, probably identical 
with the material seen by Haussknecht, but as already noticed under 
F. Schrammii, the specimens in Herb. Boissier and Herb. Zürich are quite 
different, so that some confusion presumably occurred among the plants sent 
out under this name. The original description by Loscos and by Willkomm 
& Lange point, on the whole, to a form of F, Vaillantii. 
Another plant allied to F. parviflora is F. Trabuti, Battandier & Trabut, 
Fl. de l'Algérie, i. 29 (1888), of which no material has been seen. It is’ 
described as follows :— : 
Fumaria verisimiliter annua caulibus curtis robustis, Folia inferiora
