GENERA FUMARIA AND RUPICAPNOS. 335 
R. sublevis in fissuris rupium ad Mnechounés prope Biskram in provincia 
Constantináà Algerie, ubi cum œX. longipede et R. pretermissd crescit, 
invenitur. 
The diagnosis of this rare plant is taken from the solitary example on 
Balansa’s sheet of Fumaria longipes in Herb. Mus. Paris, which unfortunately 
now shows no flowers. Except for the slightly winged petioles, its foliage 
bears a resemblance to that of R. Cossonit rather than R. longipes, and its 
narrow, finely rugose fruit is very distinct. 
SgcTI0 II. SARCOCAPNOIDES. 
Plante perennes, decumbentes. Racemi multitlori. Flores parvi vel 
parvuli, 4-10 mm. longi, albi vel roseo-albidi; petalis exterioribus quam 
interiora fere recta apice modice alata atropurpurea conspieue longioribus et 
latioribus, in limbos patentes suborbiculares apice dilatatis ut in genere 
Sarcocapnos ; stylus fere malleiformis lobis curvatis subpatentibus. Fructtis 
parvi.
