THE BRITISH CAPREOLATE FUMITORIES 135 
s description, and a certain number of others 
that were evidently different and in accord with the description given 
in English Botany. Among the latter is a well-preserved specimen 
labelled as collected in Fifeshire in 1871 by J. Boswell-Syme. 
The plants of this latter class can be distinguished without 
much difficulty not only from F’. Borei Jord., but from F. capreo- 
lata L. They may be regarded as intermediate between these two 
plants, but undoubtedly are more nearly related to the latter, 
which they resemble in their ‘“ necked” fruits, and recurved fruit- 
stalks, as well as in their large sepals and long bracts. But their 
fruits are not only broader, but also less smooth when dry; an 
the curving of the pedicels is sufficiently distinct, as pointed out in 
English Botany. The corolla, under similar conditions, is a little 
smaller than in F’, capreolata, with the upper petal rather more 
broadly winged, though less so than in good flowers of F’. Borei 
a 
hitherto been known only as F’. Borei, y 
been shown to belong to a different species, I propose to re-name it 
F. purpurea. 
The range of this plant in these islands seems to resemble that
