Cuxton, and Boxley, in Kent; near Leatherhead, Surrey; also 
near Long Niddrie and Dirlton, Haddingtonshire. I possess speci- 
mens from Essex, Cambridgeshire, Hertfordshire, and near Scar- 
borough in Yorkshire. One or other of these sub-species has been 
reported from various localities from Hampshire to Edinburgh, and 
also from Ireland; but the two have been so confounded in this 
country that I am obliged only to indicate those localities from 
which I have seen specimens. 
) England, Scotland, Ireland? Annual. Summer, Autumn. 
Extremely like F. Vaillantii, but often attaining to a greater 
height, as I have sometimes seen it about 18 inches high. The stem 
branches more from the base. The leaves are much more finely 
divided, the lacineze much narrower, grooved, and much more glau- 
cous. The flowers are closer together, smaller, about } inch long, 
the spur shorter in proportion, being only about a quarter the length 
of the upper petal, the colour white, the lateral petals tipped with 
dark purple; sepals larger. The fruit pedicels are shorter, scarcely 
exceeding the fruit in length, and the fruit is usually slightly pointed 
at the apex, even when quite mature. 
By these points of difference F. parviflora may generally be easily 
distinguished from F. Vaillantii. Mr. Gibson remarks that the 
flowers of F. parviflora change from white to rose-colour as they 
fade, which is the exact converse of what he states of F. Vaillantii: 
though this is by no means always the case, I have frequently found 
them do so, and it is possibly this change of colour which has led 
Dr. Walker Arnott to describe his var. « of F. parviflora as rose- 
coloured, quoting under it E. B. 590, where there can be no doubt 
that the colouring has been taken from a fading specimen of the 
white-flowered plant.*

EXCLUDED SPECIES. 
PAPAVER NUDICAULE. Linn. (EB. 2681) 
An arctic plant said to have been found by Sir Charles Giesecké 
* orowing among rocks and glens in the hills at Achil Head in the 
North-west of Ireland.’”? There can be no doubt that it never grew 
there. 
* Mr. Bentham considers all the preceding forms of Fumarie to be referable to a 
single species, to which he gives the name of F. officinalis.
