63 FUMARIACEiE. Cory 



Nearly allied to D. formosa, with which it has been confounded ; but distin- 

 guished by its less compound raceme, broader flowers, shorter wings of the 

 mner petals, and entire stigma. D. formosa appears to be confined to the 

 mountains of the Southern States. 



5. D. lachenalkv folia (DC.) : spur very short and obtuse ; scape 3-4- 

 flowered ; pedicels longer than the calyx; leaves many-cleft, with linear very- 

 acute lobes. DC. syst. 2. p. Ill; Hook. fl. Bor.-Am.. 1. p. 36. Fumaria 

 tenuifolia, Ledeb. in mem. acad. St. Petersb. 5. (1815) p. 550; Cham. ^

Islands near the coast of extreme N. W. America, Pallas. Also iound 

 in Siberia and Kamtschatka.— Rhizoma fleshy, horizontal. Leaves several, 

 on long petioles; lobes crowded, linear, attenuated at each end. Scapes

 lower ones pendulous, the upper one erect. Pedicels variable in length, 

 often 3-4 lines long (sometimes 5 lines, Cham.<^ Schlecht.). Corolla 8 lines 

 long. J9C.— Stigma 5-toothed. Pallas— We have seen no specimens of 

 this plant. The preceding species should be compared with it. 



D. tenuifolia, DC. syst. 2. p. 110. {Conjdalis tenuifolia, Pursh) not having been 

 found on the N. W. coast, as was supposed by Pursh, but in Kamtschatka, is omit- 

 ted from our Flora ; as is likewise D. bracteosa, DC. I. c, another very doubtful na- 

 tive of N. America.

§ 1. Annual or biennial., with fibrous roots : stems branching, leafy : pods 

 linear, many-seeded.— Ca^nites, DC. (partly.)
