GENERA FUMARIA AND RUPICAPNOS. 347 
brevibus ut in X. africand. Folia pleraque subradicalia, glaucescentia, 
10-20 em. longa (petiolo gracili incluso), longe petiolata, oblonga, foliolis 
3-paribus subdeltoideis brevissime petiolatis et segmentis secundariis in 
lacinias satis remotas, parvas, lineari-oblongas, acutas mueronatasve profunde 
incisis. 2-3-pinnatisecta. Racemi racemoso-corymbiformes, 20—25 flori, cum 
pedunculo (ad 7 em. longo) foliis sepissime paulo rarius subduplo breviores. 
Bractew 15-4 mm. longe, oblonga (lineares ap. Pomel), acuminatze ; pedi- 
celli fructiferi filiformes apice vix incrassati longissimi (infimi ad 60 mm. 
longi). Sepala 3 mm. longa, l:5-1: 75 mm. lata, ovata vel lanceolato-ovata, 
peltata, acuta vel acuminata, plus minusve irregulariter dentata vel basi 
laciniata, preter nervum dorsalem angustum viridiusculum albida. Corolla 
maxima, sepe gracilis, 14-16:5 mm. longa (12 mm. ap. Pomel), carinis 
gracilibus viridiusculis albida vel roseo-albida : petalo superiore marginibus 
apice paulo dilatatis sursum recurvatis vel patentibus anguste oblongo obtusis- 
simo, calcare longo (circa 5 mm.) deflexo ad basin angusto sed apicem versus 
rotundato ; petalo inferiore marginibus latis patentibus apice satis dilatatis 
subspathulato obtuso, nonnunquam ad basin ipsam obscure saccato ; petalis 
interioribus sursum curvatis apice modice alatis subtruncatis breviter sed læte 
atropurpureis. LE ructiis modici, sine mucrone circa 2:5 mm. longi et 2 mm. 
lati, obovato-elliptici, cum mucrone longo acuminati, valde compressi et plane 
carinati, siccitate omnino grosse tuberculato-rugosi. 
Hæc pulchra et distinctissima species per foliorum magis decompositorum 
lacinias parvas angustas, per corollas maximas roseo-albidas spice breviter 
sed conspicue atropurpureo-maculatas et per fructüs modicos subellipticos 
acuminatos inter hujus sectionis alias species notabilis et facile distinguenda 
est. 
R. cerefolia prope Milianah atque Mazis (ap. Pomel) in provincia Algeriensi 
Algeric invenitur. 
The above description, which has been drawn up from the exsiecata cited, 
agrees with Pomel’s diagnosis except that in the material examined the 
bracts and sepals seem rather broader, and the corolla is larger, the flowers 
being especially fine in Soc. Dauph. No. 672, and the specimen at Kew 
collected by Joad. Pomel’s diagnosis seems to have been taken from poorly 
grown plants, and is corrected by Battandier & Trabut (7. c.), who observe that 
the flowers of F. cerefolia are very large, not less than 15 mm. in length. 
The flower and dissections of Fumaria africana in Cosson's Illustr. FI. 
Atlant. i. tab. 9, figs. 12-20, appear to have been drawn from a plant of 
this species.
