102 ENGLISH BOTANY. 
lobed, about as long as the pedicels. Sepals entire, very small or 
obsolete. Flowers purplish, variegated, ? to 1 inch long, including 
the spur of the upper petal, which is about half the length of the 
flower and slightly curved. Upper petal slightly notched, the 
lower one more deeply so, gibbous at the base, but not spurred like 
the upper one; lateral petals shorter than the exterior ones, widened 
at the apex, where they adhere. Raceme lengthened in fruit. Pods 
about as long as the pedicels, elliptical, linear, tipped by the persistent 
style, opening from the base towards the tip. Seeds several, very 
glossy, with a crestlike appendage. Plant glabrous and glaucous.

Rootstock branched, producing numerous leafy stems, leaves 
tri-ternate, without tendrils. Peduncles longer than the leaves 
opposite to which they spring. Pedicels shorter than the flowers, 
but equalling or exceeding the pods. Seeds shining, appearing 
granulated under a lens, with a lobed membranous crest. 
On old walls. Naturalized in many places both in England 
and Scotland. 
{England,| [Scotland]. Perennial. Summer. 
Rootstock branched, giving rise to numerous stems. Stems 
diffuse, 6 to 12 inches high. Leaves stalked, the lowest on very 
long stalks, tri-pinnate, with oval, nearly entire, or broadly obovate, 
3-lobed leaflets. Racemes appearing to be opposite the leaves, but 
really (as in most of such cases) terminating the branches; the appa- 
rent prolongation of the main stem is merely a branch developed 
from the axil of the uppermost leaf. Bracts lanceolate, erose, much 
shorter than the pedicels. Flowers $ to ? inch long, bright yellow, 
darker at the tips, sub-secund, 6 to 12 or even more in each 
raceme, which is compact while in flower, but elongated in fruit. 
Sepals ovate, cuspidate, narrower and much shorter than the corolla.
