GENERA FUMARIA AND RUPICAPNOS 345 
Mus. Brit. These have been collated with the original accounts of Fumaria 
africana, F. corymbosa, and Rupicapnos graciliflora by Lamarck, Desfontaines, 
and Pomel respectively. 
The admixture of this species and of the purple-flowered Oran form on 
Bourgeau’s sheets of F. africana may be taken as evidence that these two 
plants grow in company at Nedroma, as has already been seen sometimes to 
happen in the case of some of the small-flowered species.

multo breviore) foliis subduplo breviores. Bractew 2-3 mm. longs, albido- 
virescentes, oblong, acute vel acuminate, interdum sparsim serrulatze ; 
pedicelli fructiferi graciles, apice abrupte incrassati, flexuosi, longissimi 
(infimi ad 65 mm. longi). Sepala 2°5-4 mm. longa, 2-3 mm. lata, late ovata 
rarius suborbicularia, peltata vel cordata, acuta, basin versus leviter crenato- 
dentata, nervo dorsali lato viridiusculo albida. Corolla maxima, 12-16 mm.

dilatatis subpatentibus sæpe pallide purpurascentibus fere oblongo vel oblongo- 
obovato, obtusissimo vel etiam retuso, cariná apicem versus attenuata, calcare 
modico (cirea 4 mm. longo) vix eurvato apice rotundato; petalo inferiore
