THE BRITISH CAPREOLATE FUMITORIES 131 
In Haussknecht’s excellent monograph of the genus in Flora, 
1873, the forms occurring in Britain are arranged as follows, viz. :— 
Subsection Murazs, 
a. Hruits rugose. 
F. Gussonii Boiss. var. diffusa (= F. confusa Jord.). 
b. Fruits smooth or nearly so. 
, Jord. 
F. muralis Sond. 
Subsection Carreonata. 
F’, capreolata L. 
b. parviflora (= F. pallidiflora Jord.). 
In these three works the treatment of the forms differs con- 
apreolata L. 
r the species which is designated by British authors, except 
Hooker, as F’, pallidiflora Jord. ; and they all consider F’, muralis 
Sond. the form most nearly allied to F’. pallidiflora, placing F. Borei 
and I’. confusa at the other end of the series. 
rst name in the London Catalogue, F. PALLIDIFLORA Jord., 
which was introduced by Babington in 1859 in place of the Linnean 
name of F’. capreolata, is associated with a well-marked and beautiful 
authentic record of F. speciosa occurring in Britain, but a careful 
examination of the specimens collected by Mr. Andrews in Guernsey

that name. These plants strongly resemble F. pallidiflora, but are 
characterized by the smallness and comparative rotundity of their 
ruits, even in luxuriant specimens; by the sepals being shorter and 
more entire than in the British examples of /, pallidiflora

the following extract from M. Jordan’s original diagnosis of the 
former plant :—<« s obtusis

that the corolla lacks the persistency which is so marked a feature

_ With regard to the adoption of the name of F’. pallidiflora J ord, 
in place of F’. capreolata L., it may be remarked that Babington, in
