186 THE JOURNAL OF BOTANY 
In many, possibly all, of these localities, not only F’. capreolata, 
but also F’, Borai are likewise to be fo und, and in view of this it 
may be suggested that F’. purpurea is a hybrid between them. 
so, the uniformity of its characters in its various habitats and the 
and under cultivation in my n garden its distinctive features 
have been maintained oll ge i least two generations. Among 
the many wild Fumitories that I have examined one specimen only 
appears to me to be ets a —— plant sent from Guernsey 
which I should label F’. Borai x officinalis. In this instance, the 
owers were intermediate bobire een those of the supposed parent 
forms, while all of the fruits remained quite undeveloped.
