to think, till further evidence comes to hand, (Bhceas X Lecoqii) 

 x Bhceas. 



The evidence of my notes does not end at this point. From 

 the mid sixties to the later eighties of last century Lecoqii was a 

 garden plant of light, rich soils. It then had the dark orange sap 

 of chelidonium, which took no time to colour. Since it has 

 become more widely distributed on poorer soils, there appears 

 to be a distinct change in the colour of the sap, from the 

 eliclidonioides type to a light yellow, even taking time to become 

 that in typical Lecoqii. No doubt other workers will be able to 

 verify this next season. 



Finally, P. Lecoqii is now on record for several places in 

 South Lines. 53, where Miss Stow and I have both found it. 



BRITISH FUMARIA RECORDS. 

 By H. W. Pugsley, B.A. 



Since the appearance of my Fumaria Supplement last year 

 the examination of British specimens has yielded the following 

 additional records of interest. With the exception of F. occiden- 

 talis and two cases of confirmation of old records, all the forms 

 are new for their respective vice-counties : — 



F. capreolata (v. Babingtonii). — 58. Cheshire : W. Kirby 

 (Hb. C. Bailey, confirmation of old record). 65. N. W. Yorks : 

 Richmond (Hb. C. Bailey). 



F. purpurea. — 65. N. W. Yorks : Richmond, Dr. St. Brody 

 (Hb. C. Bailey). 



F. Bor^ei.— 42. Brecon : near Builth, 1902 (Hb. C. Bailey). 

 47. Montgomery : Breidden Hills, 1877 (Hb. J. C. Melvill, confir- 

 mation). 64. Mid-west Yorks : Ilkley, 1860 (Hb. Mas. Manchester). 



F. Bastardi.— 1. W. Cormvall : St. Ives, 1909 (Hb. C. Bailey 

 var. Gussonei). 49. Carnarvon: Llandudno, 1881 (Hb. C.Bailey 

 Y&v.hibemica). 50. Denbigh: near Ruthin, 1895 (Hb. C.Bailey). 

 87. W. Perth : Tullibardy, Clackmannan, T. Drummond, 1876 

 (Hb. J. C. Melvill). 



F. occidentalis. — 1. W. Cornwall : Garden ground, Newlyn, 

 E. G. Varenne, 1881 (Hb. C. Bailey, as F. confusa, the earliest 

 known example). 



F. micrantha, f. dubia. — 8. S. Wilts : Salisbury, W. M. Rogers, 

 1876 (Hb. Mus. Manchester). 14. E. Sussex : Battle, E. Cresjngny, 

 1886 (Hb. C. Bailey). 



F. parviflora.— 7. N. Wilts : Aldbourn, E. S. Todd, 1912 

 (Hb. Druce). 



The occurrence of F. Bastardi var. Gussonei at St. Ives, 

 where very fine and typical specimens were obtained by Mr. 

 Bailey, must be attributed, I think, to accidental introduction 

 with agricultural seeds or roots ; and its presence in Jersey, and 

 that of F. paradoxa and F. neglecta near Penryn, are perhaps due
