340 MR. H. W. PUGSLEY : A REVISION OF THE 
suborbiculares dilatata ct per fruetüs minores gracile mucronatos separanda 
est. 
R. tenuifolia regionem montanam Algeriw australis in provincia Oranensi 
ad Itimam (Pomel), prope Stitten et forsan ad alios locos habitat. 
The diagnosis of R. tenuifolia has been taken from Bourgeau’s exsiccata 
at Kew and in Herb. Manchester, which, while differing in some particulars 
from Pomel’s original description, as indicated, seem to be essentially 
conspecific although perhaps varietally separable. The relationship of the 
two forms is indeterminable in the absence of authentic material of the 
Itima plant seen by Pomel, which appears to differ chiefly by its broader 
leaf-segments, fewer-flowered racemes, broader sepals, and less rotund 
fruits.

Rupieapnos perennis, glauca, caudice crassiusculo et caulibus abbreviatis

longissimo 10-15 em. longa, subdeltoidea, foliolis flabellatis infimis petiolatis 
reliquis ssepius fere subsessilibus in segmenta remota cuneiformia vel obovata 
obtusissima rarius obscure mucronata fissis irregulariter. 2-pinnatisecta sub-

(30—50-) fori, cum pedunculo ad 8 em. longo folia paulo superantes vel 
parum breviores. Bractew 1-1-5 mm. longi, lineari-lanceolate, acuminate, 
subintegro ; pedicelli fructiferi Jiliformes apice inerassati longissimi (infimi 
usque ad 50 mn. longi). Sepala circa 2 mm. longa, 1-1:5 mm. lata, ovata, 
peltata, acuminata, integriuscula vel basi parce dentata, albida. Corolla 
parva, 4-5 mm. longa, preter carinas virescentes albida ; petalo superiore 
apice marginibus latis patentibus late obovato vel suborbiculari truncato vel 
obtusissimo, calcare breviusculo fere recto, [nectario brevissimo calcar vix 
ineunte ap. Pomel] ; petalo inferiore apice marginibus latissimis patentibus 
in limbum suborbicularem truncatum dilatato, basi haud saccato ; petalis

forma inter petalorum exteriorum margines quos longe superat patente 
preeditis interne obscure atropurpureis. Fructis mediocres, sine mucrone 
circa 2°25 mm. longi et 2 mm. lati, fere. elliptici, eum mucrone obtusiusculi, 
satis compressi sed parum carinati, siccitate omnino dense tuberculato-
