THE GENUS FUMARIA IN BRITAIN 



I have seen no specimen from the Channel Islands. 



In Great Britain F. vmralis is a distinctly rare plant and 

 seldom typical, and I suspect that even in its few habitats it may 

 have been at some time accidentally introduced. 



The vice-counties that I have noted for it are : — 



10. Wight : Alverstone, May, 1859 {Hb. A. G. More) ! Shore 

 near Eyde, 1860 {Hb. Toivnsend) ! 11. S. Hants : Brockenhurst 

 and Bournemouth (Hb. E. F. Linton, var. decijnens) ! 15. E. 

 Kent : Cornfield between Ashford and Kennington, 1863, J. S. 

 Mill (Hb. Keiv. var. decipiens) ! 17. Surrey : Fairmile (Watson 

 ap. HaiLssh.). 37. Worcester: Kidderminster (Hb. Jacquin ap. 

 Haussk). 39. Stafford : Brereton, H. P. Beader, 1900 ! Oulton 

 Abbey, H. P. Beader, 1902 ! 40. Salop : Little Stretton, A. Ley, 

 1909 (var. decipiens) ! 49. Carnarvon: 1829 (Hb. Mus. Dublin) ! 

 58. Cheshire : near Stockton, 1889 (Hb. Wolley-Dod) ! 59. S. 

 Lanes. Speke (Hb. A. Bennett.) ! 



36. F. neglecta, nov. subsp. 



Fumaria annua robusta, caule ramoso, suberecto vel ascendente, 

 forma scandente non visa. Folia irregulariter 2-3 pinnatisecta, 

 foliolis planis viridibus in lobos oblongo-mucronatos lanceolato- 

 acutosve fissis. Bacemi laxiusculi multiflori (sub-20 flori) pedun- 

 culos rectos superantes. Bractece linear i-oblongce, cuspidatce, 

 pedicellis fructiferis tenuibus suberectis paullulum flexuosis dimidio 

 breviores. Sepala circa 3 mm. longa et 1^-2 mm. lata, late ovalia, 

 peltata, integriuscula vel inferne paulo dentata, breviter acuminata, 

 praBter nervum dorsalem angustum viridem albida vel dilute rosea, 

 aliquanto persistentia, corollse tubum subsequantia. Corolla 10 

 mm. longa, rosea; petalo superiore haud lato dorsum compresso 

 alis atropurpureis apicem attingentibus carinam excedentibus 

 spathulato obtuso, calcare sepalis longiore ; petalo inferiore mar- 

 ginibus erectis angustissimisque ; petalis interioribus sursum 

 curvatis apice atropurpureis. Fructus mediocres, plus 2 mm. 

 longi ac lati, brevissime obovati, fere truncati et inferne angustati, 

 stipite obscuro pedicelli apicem subaequante praediti, paulo com- 

 pressi sed obscure carinati, siccitate Iceves vel leviter rugulosi 

 minute sed plane bifoveolati. 



Hsec subspecies F. murali, var. Loioei proxima est, sed habitu 

 robustiore, racemis longioribus, pedicellis suberectis, bracteis 

 brevioribus latioribusque, fructibus majoribus plane recedit. 



A F. Borcei racemis longioribus, bracteis brevioribus, sepalis 

 minoribus, corollis angustioribus minoribusque dignoscitur. 



A F. Gussonei, Boiss. et F. Bastardi, Bor. fructibus Isevibus 

 rugulosisve satis differt. 



Habitat in Anglia in agris Gilly Tresamble prope Penryn Cor- 

 nubise occidentalis. 



A robust and branched plant, suberect or ascending, not 

 observed in a rampant state. Leaves irregularly 2-3 pinnatisect, 

 green, with leaflets cut into oblong or lanceolate, mucronate or 

 acute lobes. Bacemes lax and many (sub-20) flowered, exceeding 

 the straight peduncles. Bracts linear-oblong, cuspidate, broader
