CRUCIFER®. LW 
measured across the uppermost pair of leaflets; uppermost leaves 
oval, deeply and irregularly toothed, all yellowish green. Flowers 
in a raceme the length of which generally considerably exceeds its 
breadth. Petals rather more than twice as long as the sepals. 
Pods in a rather lax raceme, arched and spreading when young, 
five to eight times as long as the pedicels. Seeds more than twice 
as long as broad. 
Apparently rare; the only British specimens I have seen being 
from Loughgall, Armagh, collected by Mr. A. G. More; all the 
other specimens labelled B. arcuata which have come under my 
notice being the form of B. eu-vulgaris, mentioned at the end of 
the description of that plant. It is highly probable, however, 
that the late Mr. Borrer found the plant somewhere in the North 
of England, as he had it in cultivation in his garden, and also has 
mentioned finding B. arcuata in Northamptonshire, Yorkshire, and 
Northumberland. ‘ Mr. Borrer, however, in writing to Mr. Watson, 
stated that he had doubts whether the British plant called 
B. arcuata was identical with the Continental plant known under 
that name; so that it is quite possible that the plant growing in 
his garden might be of foreign origin and procured for the purpose 
of comparison. 
England? Ireland. Biennial. Early Summer. 
Extremely like B. eu-vulgaris, especially the state with arched 
and spreading pods, but the whole plant is of a yellower green, the 
flowers rather larger, and the petals more persistent, so that they 
usually do not fall off until the raceme has lengthened considerably. 
The fruiting raceme is more lax, the pods rather longer, the style 
longer, being more than twice as long as the breadth of the pod; 
the seeds smaller, darker in colour, and much narrower in 
proportion to their length.
