THE BRITISH CAPREOLATE FUMITORIES 1338

founded. But it can readily be seen that ‘they differ in several 
particulars. The habit of growth is much stronger, and the flowers 
“‘ovoid-acute,”” but which Koch, writing of that species (Syn. Fl. 
Germ. ed. 2), describes as « subrotundo-ovatis, obtusis.” Fu

in the forms of F. capreolata L. (*‘Sepala evidenter minora ’’—

typical F’, Borai) is an ally of F. muralis Sond., and characterized 
by straight fruiting pedicels, large flowers, and very obtuse fruits 
narrowed below to an inconspicuous neck. I will therefore turn 
to the description of F. Borat by British authors, which I shall 
eres to show refers to a different plant, allied to F’. capreo-
