224 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
patentibus spathulato, obtusissimo vel retuso, carina. viridi priedito, basi 
verisimiliter subsaccato ; petalis interioribus fere rectis apice modice alatis 
atropurpureis. Fructis majusculi, cum rostro 3 mm. longi, 2-2:25 mm. lati, 
ovuto-elliptici, superne in rostrum latiusculum compressum angustati subaeuti, 
inferne abrupte angustati (haud attenuati), valde compressi et acute carinati, 
siccitate omnino tuberculato-rugulosi. 
Hiec species X. lonyipedi plane affinis est, sed per pedicellos fructiferos 
subduplo breviores eum bracteis truncatis, per sepala minora magis dentata, 
per corollas angustiores et per fructüs subduplo minores, leviores, inferne 
haud attenuatos satis differt. 
R. prvtermissa in fissuris umbrosis rupium ad Mnechounés prope Biskram, 
in provincia Constantinà Algerie, ubi cum Æ. longipede crescit, a cl. Balansa 
inventa est. 
This rare and obseure plant has been described and figured from the 
single specimen included in Balansa’s sheet of Fumaria longipes in Herb. 
Mus. Paris, to which reference has already been made. Its points of 
distinction from R. longipes were apparently overlooked both by Balansa and 
by Cosson, owing probably to the similarity of its foliage and the incon- 
spicuous nature of its few-flowered clusters of small, pale flowers. It 
appears to possess, however, a number of minor differences in addition to 
the widely divergent fruit.
